袁枚 1716-1797

釋文：袁枚頓首、頓首。健茲觀察老同年閣下。別三十年，先儒所謂一世也。回憶玉堂唱和，真為天上人間。閱《縉紳錄》知公臬集西安，此枚十六年前候補處也，絕好一長官，惜當初福薄不及預支耳。枚別時二十七歲，鬑鬑未見，今五十三歲，已付鬚髯于染人，否則全是雪霜，難為側室之媚。齒牙搖動，非眼鏡不看書，以我之衰，卜公之老，未知精神意氣猶似從前否？己未晨星茫茫，朝野都無幾人，想政務餘閒，偶掄玉指，亦未嘗不感慨係之矣。枚幸而老母壽康，山居足樂，藏書萬卷，栽花千枝，著述事亦𣸪裒然成集，此則可為故人告，以慰關切者也。茲因候補許令解緞來陝之便，草此數行，小抒離緒，仰希垂照。不宣。臘月二十四日。

梁勁予 (1911-2003)， 名從業， 號思庵，廣東台山人。早歲畢業於廣州市師範學校及警官專門學校，復習太極於陳微明，承衣缽之傳。後於港澳兩地開設「環中太極拳社」、以行醫授拳為職志。梁氏性耽文藝，陳微明師亦工詩擅畫，師徒同嗜；又嘗請益繪事於胡佩衡、溫幼菊諸家，丹青畫藝遂得精進。從目前公開所見梁氏之收藏範圍，除個人交遊或師友交誼而獲饋贈，另一重要組成部分則為歷年搜購，經逾半世紀的搜求累積，一直未有公開。
