【original】 Yuandi left and right, Brother Xinyan sends six articles per month, and I mean three times a month, with two articles for those with less than a thousand characters each time, and one article for those with more than a thousand characters.The method of selecting texts is that the ancients selected the second of three; this dynasty selected one of the third, I wonder if it means to be a younger brother? It's not too late for my brother to pay attention to memorials and discussions at this time, so don't worry too much.There are more than 20 governors and governors in the world. In their memorials, there are those who have surpassed my younger brother, those who have Lu Wei, and those who are not as good. At this time, my brother is working hard. I don’t want to be too fierce, but I want to be persevering. What's the matter? (Twenty-fourth day of the first lunar month in the fourth year of Tongzhi)

【Note】 ① Constant: Perseverance. 【Translation】 About Yuandi: My brother said in the letter that there are six articles to be sent per month, which I mean three times a month, and I write two articles each time if I am not satisfied with dry words, and only one article if I have more than a thousand words.The method of selecting texts, the ancients selected two-thirds, and this dynasty selected one-third. I wonder if it suits my brother's wishes? It's not too late for my younger brother to pay attention to the memorial, so don't be too upset.There are more than 20 governors and governors in the world. Those who are superior to my younger brother, some who are Lu Wei, and some who are not as good as him, my younger brother is working hard at this time. I don't want to be too fierce, but I want to have perseverance.If my brother's coolies from attacking Jinling are used for other things, what can't be done. (Twenty-fourth day of the first lunar month in the fourth year of Tongzhi)
