何汝霖，字雨人，江蘇江寧人。 He Rulin, styled Yuren, came from Jiangning in Jiangsu.

值太后七旬萬壽，汝霖母丁年九十，五世同堂，賜御書扁額，尋以母憂歸。 When the empress dowager's seventieth birthday was celebrated, Rulin's mother Ding was ninety years old and five generations lived under one roof. The emperor bestowed an imperial inscription, and soon after Rulin returned home upon his mother's death.

汝霖曰：「倉穀以備兇。 Rulin said: "Granary grain is stored to prepare for famine.

汝霖久襄樞務，資勞己深，尚書陳孚恩由章京躋大臣，駸用事，厭汝霖居其前。 Rulin had long served in Grand Council affairs and his seniority and merit were deep. Minister Chen Fu'en had risen from clerk to minister, gradually wielded power, and resented Rulin ranking above him.

汝霖年逾七十，一日在直，觸火爐幾僕。 Rulin was over seventy. One day while on duty he bumped into the brazier and nearly fell.

汝霖知其諷己，咸豐二年，以足疾乞罷直，許之。 Rulin knew he was being mocked. In 1852 he requested to leave Grand Council duty due to a foot ailment and was granted permission.

未幾，卒，諡恪慎，祀鄉賢。 He died soon after. He was given the posthumous name Ke Shen (Respectful and Cautious) and enshrined in the local temple of worthy men.
