肇論新疏 2.295

2.295

不面在昔，佇想用勞。慧明道人至，得去年十二月疏并問。披尋返覆，欣（喜）若暫對。涼風屆節，頃常如何？貧道勞疾，多不住（好）耳。信南返（迴）不悉（詳）。

"We have not met face to face in the past, and looking forward in thought has been wearying. When the Daoist Huiming arrived, I received your letter and questions of the twelfth month of last year. Unfolding and examining them back and forth, I rejoiced (was glad) as though briefly facing you in person. The cool breeze arrives with the season; how have you been lately? This impoverished monk has been wearied with illness and mostly unwell. The messenger is returning (turning back) south, so I cannot write in detail (exhaustively)."
