致中峰和尚尺牘 管道昇
台灣
此為管道昇寄與中峰明本之信札。凡三十三行，計五百一十三字。內容極為感激師父中峰明本的慈悲教導，提及手書《般若經》薦福族人等相關事項，可知管氏事佛之虔敬細謹。
管道昇為元代（1271～1368）重要書法家趙孟頫之妻，書學自然多受趙氏影響；唯管氏功力稍欠，雖有趙氏之形貌，卻無趙氏之精妙瀟灑，但仍保有自己書風，字多欹側，有別於趙氏的平穩周正。唯整體較為樸實，親切如鄰人，此正是其書之佳處。
參考釋文：及一切法界含靈莫墮三塗惡苦願皆得早生／佛界此乃良人與道昇心願已託以中兄先覆知／師父大和尚今春僕回又拜／吾師惠書及心疏道昇等拜觀如心如願良人見之生歡／喜心尤增感佩／我師如此大發慈悲度脫一切眾生是道昇等／七世父師之恩何以報謝 深恩今因的便特拜此書報安更乞／善保愛不宣 六月初七日女弟子管氏道昇和南拜覆
