Dates:Qing Dynasty
Size:Width 43.4cm, Length 31cm
Letters from the Second Daugher came from the paper pasted on the sutras of Dunhuang and was originally collected by Xu Chengyao, a famous collector in Huizhou. These letters were written by the second daughter of a family to her mother, all about daily trifles. Although written by a woman, the calligraphy was free and smooth with its balance and rhyme similar to that of Ouyang Xun, which is quite valuable. In the upper right corner is a red square seal by the collector— “Collected by Xun Chunfu of She when traveling in Gansu”.
