近日支持兩湖，賴有一二書生，如胡林翼、羅澤南，能以練膽為士卒先。 Lately the two Hu provinces have been held up chiefly by a few scholar-officials—Hu Linyi and Luo Zenan—who drilled their men in courage and led from the front.

臣聞見隘陋，非能盡識天下之才，所知湖南有左宗棠，通權達變，為疆吏所倚重，若使獨當一面，必不下於林翼、澤南。 My own horizon is limited and I cannot know every worthy man in the empire, but in Hunan there is Zuo Zongtang—flexible, decisive, and already indispensable to provincial governors. Given an independent command he would rank with Hu Linyi and Luo Zinan.
