(原文)

The Bun Store,81 Des Vocux Road Central,Hong Kong

Or广东省城西关十五甫一巷一号

Jan.8th, 1911

Dear Dr.Sun,

In case this letter cannot reach you I write it in English.

I am glad with all other Chinese that you have been elected as the first president.Surely you are the right man.

As soon as the revolution broke out, I returned from England for the purpose of giving a helping hand, but I have been in Canton for the last three weeks, I am still not wanted in the government.I shall be ashamed of myself, if I have no share in the revolution.

When I was in Japan as you know I was under military training, I am still in use.For the last seven years I have studied international law, constitutional law, political economy and theology in England.Can I do something for the central government? Please let me know.

With Best wishes.

Yours sincerely,

Lo Shu Kai 卢少岐

香港德辅道中81号面包房,或者广东省城西关十五甫一巷一号,1912年1月8日

尊敬的孙博士:

我用英文写这封信,以免您收不到。

我和其他中国人一样为您当选为第一任大总统而高兴。您是合适的人选。

革命一爆发,我就从英国回国,以便在革命运动中略尽绵力。但我在广州已经三周了,仍没能为政府工作。如果我没有为这场革命做点什么,我会感到羞耻。

如您所知,我在日本接受过军事训练,现在仍然有用。在过去的7年中,我在英国学过国际法、宪法、政治经济学和神学。我能否为中央政府做点事呢?请示知。

此致

如愿。

卢少岐 谨志
