Footnotes

陳樹人　致孫中山信札　水墨紙本　三頁　鏡框　

款識：
中山先生賜覽：前四日在域多利，奉三月廿八日鈞諭，即時將關於英七先生營葬公函登之報端，及另轉寄全砍分部矣。去月抄得尊電後，即通告各分部，至今日共集得美金七百餘元（隨域埠自匯上及點問頓馬兆葉君親帶上外）。明日當向銀行電匯上中國銀壹仟五佰元，到時望發回收条是幸。近日雲埠及加屬黨務中興情形已俱祥。李月十號發上之函，自前星期開雲埠懇親會議，人心更傾向，並托兆葉兄呈上該日攝影。全体八九百人，此影不過其一角耳。樹近日為黨務幾至無暇食寢，並報務不能多顧，而雲埠中華會館所辦公學又苦苦牽樹為總教習。然樹不過允為其開辦，非料理一切而已。全加屬國民黨懇親大會四十分部中，贊成雲埠者已有三十五處（其餘有數處通信處，實則全體贊成）。樹擬定七月中旬為會期，現已舉定起草委員進行一切。此會若成，加屬黨務必有良影響也。域埠黨務因訟事失敗以來，極形衰落。同人屢迫樹，函請先生設法換去林領事，不然雖竭吾人九牛二虎之力，不能敵彼魔力之一摧也。望先生其垂注焉。此候崇祉。門人陳樹人謹禀。四月廿四日。

註：一九〇五年，孫中山從歐美轉赴日本組織同盟會，途經香港，陳樹人聞訊，即與友人相約登船拜見孫中山，並當場加入同盟會，成為第九位同盟會成員。一九一六年（一說一九一七），陳氏奉孫中山之命赴加拿大維多利亞埠，擔任當地國民黨總部幹事，主持黨務，直至一九二二年方攜眷返國。信中提及「點問頓」，乃台山語音譯，即阿爾伯塔省埃德蒙顿。信箋上印「中華民國六年」，為本函署年之註腳。
