我近日整理北京图书馆所藏先祖雪堂公给王观堂先生书札,多至六七百通,细书密行,字划如蛇蚓,令人辨识困难。我幸有多年素养,比较别人能认识多些。从书札里了解到,公在日本和天津的一些日常活动。因为公每有一想念、一见闻,都必函告王先生,虽分居两地,却几于声息相通。 Recently, I compiled the books of the ancestor Xu Tongtang from the Beijing Library to Mr. Wang Guantang, up to six or seven hundred, with close-fitting books and words such as snakebugs, which make people discernible difficulties. I am fortunate enough for many years to know more than others. From Book Salary learned that the public in Japan and Tianjin some daily activities. Because every time the public miss one moment, all at a glance, they must all be sent to Mr. Wang. Although they live separately in two places, they communicate in a few voices.
