國清百錄 2.12

2.12

王第二書。弟子少奉正真，長而彌篤。州中事隙時得用心，但至止以來實有欽睠。前書要師出鎮講說，未辱還告，良以欝陶佇聽之情不忘瞬息，重遣今信必望翻然，學徒多少並希携帶。故前有白尋勒人般所遲來儀，會言在促。弟子陳伯智和南。

"The Prince's second letter: In my youth I revered the true and upright, and as I grew older I became even more devoted. In the intervals of prefectural affairs, I occasionally find time to apply my mind, but ever since arriving here I have truly cherished admiration for you. In my previous letter, I invited the Master to come to the garrison to preach, but have not yet received your reply. Truly, my longing heart, waiting to listen, does not forget for an instant. I again send this messenger, fully hoping you will change your mind, and hope you will bring your disciples, whether few or many. Therefore, as I reported before, I have already instructed men to transport your belongings; awaiting your arrival, our meeting and conversation will be soon. Your disciple Chen Bozhi prostrates himself."
