Zeng Guofan's family letter 曾国藩 331Words 2018-03-18
【original】 About Yuandi: The letter of inspecting the lake camp and dragging Liujiadu into Baihu ① will be done today, and I will send someone to send it. What I worry about is that the navy cannot enter the Baihu from the big river, and the Baihu cannot pass through Chaohu. Today, it is only seven or eight. The wide embankment leads to the White Lake, which is great luck! It will be even more fortunate if the White Lake can connect to the nest! Yu yesterday made a couplet for Wan Runshuai, saying: "The Daoist bandits are in Wuzhong. It is a pity that the late emperor and his ministers are at the end of their marriage; the recommendation of virtuous people is all over the world. I hope that the future generations will be the first and the last to be honored." (Xianfeng eleven years nine. April 14)

【Note】 ① Letter: Good letter, the document that issued the order at that time. 【Translation】 About Yuandi: The dispatch of Liu Jiadu, a battalion patrolling the lake, to be dragged into Baihu Lake has been completed today, and I will send someone to send it immediately. What I am worried about is that the navy cannot enter Baihu Lake from the Dajiang River, and Baihu Lake cannot be connected to Chaohu Lake. It is a great fortune to enter the Baihu Lake after Zhang Kuandi, and it will be even more fortunate if the Baihu Lake leads to Chaohu Lake. Yesterday I wrote a couplet to make you feel handsome:

"Tongkou is in Wuzhong, which is a regret for the late emperor and his ministers; recommending sages all over the world, I hope that future generations will make up for my unfulfilled honor" (September 14, Xianfeng Eleventh Year)
