【釋文】

叔乾先生左右奉
手能敬承
慰問感荷
大文謹讀過唯有拝服累
公已多俟歸更申面殘稿
已交食弟便畫格寫屏矣
弟鼻衄經止慮其更發醫
方須靜農數日遂不即歸俟
藥止後再定還期年

念异聞敬請
道安   弟延闓碣  八月廿三日

​【說明】

譚延闓,幼名寶璐,字祖庵亦作組安等,別號無畏,湖南茶陵人。譚氏於光緒30年(1904)中開封甲辰科會試第一名,殿試二甲三十五名,朝考一等第一名,賜進士出身。此後科舉廢除,改設學校,譚氏成為末代科舉的會元。民國後,譚氏曾國民政府主席、行政院長等職。為清末民初重要的政治人物。譚延闓因擅長做詩、書法、槍法而有「譚三法」的美名。
 
此信札為譚延闓寫給舊部簡叔乾的私人信件,信中提及自己有鼻衄(ㄋㄩˋ,流鼻血)症狀,因而求醫未歸。從《譚延闓日記》可知,譚氏曾有數次鼻血不止的紀錄,雖非大病,卻讓他感到困擾,多次尋求偏方或醫師治療。對照日記時間,此封信札可能寫於1922年,收件者簡叔乾是譚延闓的舊部,多次出現於《譚延闓日記》,曾協助編纂譚氏年譜。此頁內容談及私人疾病,顯見兩人互信程度。

​【Description】

Tan Yankai, from Chaling, Hunan, was the top scorer of the metropolitan exam and court exam in 1904, the imperial examination system was abolished the following year, he became the last Huiyuan and Shujishi ever since. After establishing the Republic of China in 1912, he served as Chairman of the National Government and Premier, making him a key figure of the late Qing and early Republican eras.

This letter, written by Tan to his former subordinate Jian Shuqian, mentions his recurring nosebleeds and efforts to seek treatment. The letter likely dates from 1922, and Jian Shuqian, who assisted in compiling Tan's annals, is frequently mentioned in Tan's diaries, indicating a close and trusted relationship.
