此信是秋瑾遗留至今的诸多书信中最为珍贵的手迹之一。1907年7月6日徐锡麟在安徽安庆起义失败并惨遭杀害,秋瑾得知此消息后,悲愤至极。待她从巨大的悲痛中清醒过来后,立即处理好善后事宜,又给浔溪女校的学生徐小淑(1887-1962年)寄去一信,内作一词。文为:“痛同胞之醉梦犹昏,悲祖国之陆沉谁挽?日暮穷途,徒下新亭之泪;残山剩水,谁招志士之魂?不须三尺孤坟,中国已无干净土;好持一杯鲁酒,他年共唱摆仑歌。虽死犹生,牺牲尽我责任;即此永别,风潮取彼头颅。壮志犹虚,雄心未渝,中原回首肠堪断!”字里行间充满了秋瑾对祖国、对民族命运的深切关心,表达了她决心以死报国的赤诚和视死如归的革命气概。国家一级文物。(金燕)
