(六)即請過此同坦翁先生一叙，就今命駕。徵明肅拜。子傳直閣執事。十四日。

(十五)再領《文賦》十帖，感謝、感謝！徵明白覆。元洲先生。
(十六)佳作甚妙，愚意欲改「守郡」作「舊愛」，「臨戎」作「嘉聲」，不審雅意如何？杖節日字亦覺太粗。徵明白覆。
(十七)口苦惡食，兼瘡發唇齒間，逢食甚艱，無可奈何，□暮沐浴亦非得已。承惠問，多謝。徵明頓首。子傳先生。

註：本冊用筆清勁，跌盪自然，載文徵明致陸師道書札十七通。陸師道(1517-1573)，字子傳，號元洲，善詩文，工書畫，嘉靖戊戌(1538)進士，曾任職於禮部，官至尚寶少卿，游文徵明門，稱弟子。十七通書札均無紀年，亦未知次序關係，但從稱謂上，可推測是寫於子傳任禮部以後，屬文徵明晚年作品。徵明與子傳父親陸廷玉相交，故二人早已相識，從書札內容可見，二人常有拜訪往來、書畫送贈、作品囑托、詩文請教、生活砥礪等活動，兩者除師徒關係外，亦情份非淺。
