Dear J.Nagy

Have pictures of enveloppe in which the couplet was given.
Could you translate the writting on it.Mabye it could tell some more about the calligrapher.

Kind regards,

Peter

Bold characters,
対聯　-　duilian - antithetical couplet
(On the envelop the character "聯" is written in it's simplified form)
Beneath you find the same couplet written horizontally.
That's all.

With regards,
I.Nagy
