Plant a tree; if it is not possible, my uncle will write a letter to say that it is a blessing. The male is equal to the 20th day service, and I respectfully make a sacrifice.

My son is waiting in the capital and is in good health. My son’s ringworm has healed. The health of my sixth brother is as usual. All five of Jize’s brothers and sisters are fine, and my daughter-in-law is happy again. I'm in good health, I don't take any medicine, and all the families in the same village are safe and well. Mr. Chen Benqi came to the capital, and my son has his own way of handling and resettlement. You can rest assured. It's probably better to treat him politely and less to send him away. It's rather embarrassing, and he will definitely regret it when he comes.

The ninth brother wrote in a letter saying that his mother often did not sleep well, and his daughter-in-law also suffered from this problem. It was very effective to eat steamed hen with rehmannia glutinosa and angelica. Astragalus, angelica, etc. are steamed and eaten, which have a little medicinal property but no medicinal taste. The five old people in the hall ate it and it was very beneficial. I hope the younger brothers will take care of it. The triangular hill behind the old seedling field is the main road from Zhushan Bay to my house. My son once told his fourth brother that the road should be changed to the bottom of the ridge, and a small bridge should be built on the side of Tanshanzui, across the row of bean soil. There are many bamboos planted on the triangular hill, the top can be connected with the big maple trees of Xintangkan, and the bottom can be connected with the big vines of Tanshan, which is very complete and compact. The prosperous atmosphere of my family makes it more together. Planting bamboo and trees, if you do not agree, please write to your uncle for instructions. My son means that the time limit of 20 days has expired, so I respectfully tell you personally, and I will make another sacrifice on the 29th, and I will report the rest next time.
