【Note】 ① meeting: meeting. ② Once: Wait. 【Translation】 On the eighth day of the lunar new year, I wrote a letter to my family on the boat, and arrived in Huangzhou on the morning of the eleventh day. Because Feng was blocking me for too long, I hired a small sedan chair and set off on the shore road. Before the twelfth day, I arrived in Hubei Province. It was only when I met Mr. Chang Nanxin's elder brother in Chengcheng that I learned the news about Hunan. The siege of Changsha was very critical. The roads were blocked and travel was impassable. I was extremely sad and anxious.

Now I am living in Wuchang, and my family members must not leave the capital at this time. I will wait until the spring of next year. After the crane is opened, I will move to another small house. I have been trying to find ways to send money to the capital for all expenses. I wrote this in a hurry A few sentences, wait a day or two before writing.
