霆、玉連、雹：

我現在在重慶是前几天從台北飛來的，因為你姊夫到這來開會，我就趁便來看看他，我現在住在鄉下的一所臨時為我們預備的住宅里，這房子在山上居高臨下風景非常美，而房子本身又是西式建筑，一切設備都好比興隆嶺還要方便，所以我這個在台北那三間小房磨難了將近一年的鄉下老倒著實欣賞這個鄉居生活，可惜沒有帶小廣來不然一定更要快樂滿意的。

你們姊夫心身都和以前一樣的壯健，精神飽滿紅光滿臉對于象他這樣個意志堅強忍耐力過人的人，任何煩悶挫折和惡劣的環境是都能應付自如的，看見他使我更堅決的相信最后的胜利必屬于我們，自然他目下的工作是非常的艱巨責任是非常重大的，好像所有的人都把希望寄托在他的身上，大家都盼望他能表現一點奇跡，我相信無論如何他總不會使大家太失望的。

你們寄回來的信我都看見了，你們對于兄嫂去加旅行的主張似乎太理想了一點，在目下簡直不可能，護照辦不到，錢不夠家口無法安排，當然他們如真的能走我可以負責奉養母親和攜帶小亞麗，但是就他們倆夫婦去了又有什么意義呢？還是我們大家在一起同患難共甘苦的好，至于我呢，我目下更不會作這种打算，今天你姊夫繼續奮斗一天我就在國內一天，將來万一不能奮斗了那我也就跟著他走，個人的生命是沒什么的，只是他的工作，他的責任，他的正直使他產生意義，我決不想單獨逃生，那是最愚蠢和卑鄙的想頭，我感到很安定。我現在只要小廣強健活潑，你姊夫精神健旺斗志堅定，就非常快樂了。所以這次我打算和他商量把小廣帶來，干脆和他住在一起，更靠近他一點。如果真的這樣辦也許我們就把母親一起接來，這樣可以減少震哥的負擔，而有老人家和我們再一起也放心些，目前錦妹來信她似乎也想去加拿大，其實我覺得她還是在日本的好，你以為如何？

台灣省政府已經撥借了一幢新建的丙种住宅給我們，一共有五間客廳，有現有的客廳和臥房合并，那個大園子比較小，但房子的三面都園子，所以空气都很好，建筑是西式平房，雖粗糙點但比我們南京吉北營的房子好，也有抽水馬桶和洗澡缸，比現在好多了。地點是在羅斯福路三段蒲城，門牌還沒有編只是叫丙种住宅19號，你們來信請暫時寄震哥那里好。我這里一回去就要搬家的。

小廣頭上的痣以完全好，他現在已會講好几個故事，最拿手得是小猴子爬樹，講的非常清楚有條理，其他小鴨子故事，小牛故事都講的不差，數目可以數到十了，別人和他同年的孩子，還爸媽都不大會叫，如李雪琴的孩子比他只小三個月，還媽媽都叫不清楚，所以大家都說小廣是天才，不管怎樣這孩子的确是天分過人，我將來真不知要如何當心的管教才好。亞亞已上學，這孩子聰明有余安分不足，對他有點擔心，希望他大些后會懂事些。

大銘与靄蘭，他現在打算在重慶帶著四個孩子度日，我很替他難過，打算有机會去看看她。

我在這里大約還有三五天停留，將來的計划將來再告，匆此祝你們大家快樂。

Letter From Hsia

親愛的雹弟：

這封信是由我口述由健弟代筆的，你的信和相片都已收到，其余的相片希能早日寄來，自你回美后每日均在怀念，因你在台時間短暫，歡敘無多，你我姐弟關山遠隔，能不深為渴念，為美為明在美承你夫婦諸般照拂，無微不至，內心万分感激，特致謝枕。

我現仍住醫院惟自服新藥后病情已漸有起色，今晨3再作全身照X相，其病情究竟如何須候檢查相片后醫生們再會診，今年春節，因我住院，故較往年為簡，所幸住院期間有健弟，衡甥常來作伴。為善、蔡容每日公余后即來侍侯故不致寂寞。

今年上八日我交給衡甥壹千元采辦祭禮，由彼及健弟等前往祭拜母親及震兄，二月十四日為你姐夫忌日，仍照往例，屈時由劉安祺先生及辦理祭拜。

日前沈剛來醫院拜，到時云及曾接霈弟來信，說你已將在台時彼給你之錢，你已變換美鈔轉寄彼之女儿，彼聞訊甚覺你太見外了，當初他給你錢是供你在台零用之需，并不是含有托帶之意。比起女儿在美已有足夠的生活費用也，無論如何彼對你的厚情總是可感的。久未接霈弟來信，未知彼夫婦及小孩們近況如何，念甚，你如電話霈弟時請代便致意。為善夫婦及小孫及均好，一俟康复出院后會再函告勿复并祝闔家康安。

霞姐
