TÌM ĐƯỢC MỘT BỨC THƯ XƯA QUÝ GIÁ

           Mưa dầm dề suốt đêm đến sáng...
          Giờ vẫn đang lắt rắt rỉ rã một điệu buồn như đang dọn đường cho cây bão Nakri đang còn lừ đừ tiến vô đất liền...
          Bó chân mà rảnh tay, ngồi lục soạn cả hộc tủ thư từ hình ảnh xưa cũ mà Mẹ giao cho lưu giữ.
          Tìm ra rồi!

           Đây là phong thư được đánh máy, gửi từ Nguyệt San Viên Âm - cơ quan hoằng pháp của Hội Việt Nam Phật học, trụ sở Tổng Trị Sự tại 15B đường Nguyễn Hoàng, Huế - đến Thi sĩ Trinh Tiên, tức Nữ sĩ Tâm Tấn, mẫu thân của tôi.
           Bức thư đề ngày 28 tháng 3 năm 1952. Nội dung:
          "Kính Bà,
           Chúng tôi được biết Bà là một Phật tử thường phụng sự Đạo bằng thi tài của mình. Vậy xin Bà cho Tạp chí VIÊN ÂM được hân hạnh đăng những bài thơ của Bà.

Tạp chí Viên Âm kỳ sắp tới đây sẽ là đặc san kỷ niệm ngày Đản-sinh của Đức Thế Tôn. Chúng tôi ước ao được có một bài thơ của Bà trong số đặc san ấy với ý nghĩa của ngày kỷ niệm trên.
          Nhân tiện chúng tôi xin tặng Bà một số Viên Âm kỳ mới phát hành. Xin Bà hoan hỷ nhận cho.
          Kính chúc Bà thường an lạc.
         Nay kính,
        Chủ bút Tòa soạn Viên Âm
        Thích Trí Quang."

Ngoài bì thư còn có dòng chữ "c/o ông Bửu Đáo", là nhờ phụ thân tôi chuyển hộ.
Từ 10 năm trước, tôi đã kính cẩn nhận lấy những kỷ vật vô giá mà Mẹ đã tin tưởng trao quyền gìn giữ, với rất nhiều thư từ xưa cũ lưu thủ bút của chư Tăng Ni thạc đức, trong đó có bức thư đánh máy này, tuy chỉ lưu được nội dung và chữ ký, nhưng vô cùng quý báu vì đây là kỷ vật của bậc danh tăng lịch sử nước nhà vừa cao đăng Phật quốc: Trưởng lão Hòa thượng thượng Trí hạ Quang!
