題簽:江寧鑲黃旗協領世襲雲騎尉
釋文(漢):奉天承运,皇帝制曰:谊笃靖共,入官必资于敬;功归诲廸,犹子亦教以忠,爰沛國恩,用扬家训,尔原雲騎尉雙慶迺江寧鑲黃旗協領世襲雲騎尉文衡之胞叔父,躬修士行,代起儒風,抱璞自珍,克發珪璋之秀,儲才足用,聿彰杞梓之良,兹以覃恩貤贈爾為武翼都尉。錫之誥命。於戲!昭令問於經籝,書貽刻鵠;佩徽章於策府,寵賁迴鸞。茂典丕承,榮名益劭。制曰:家有孝慈之範,美以相濟而成;國崇褒錫之文,恩以并推而厚。爾鈕呼嚕氏,迺江寧鑲黃旗協領世襲云騎尉文衡之胞叔母,德可德可相夫,教能啟後。一堂環佩和音,克著其慈祥;五夜機絲內治,聿昭其柔順。茲以覃恩,貤贈爾為淑人。於戲!普一體之榮施,鸞章賁采;表同心於訓迪,象服分光。
款識:江寧鑲黃旗協領世襲云騎尉。清光緒十六年三月二十二日。文衡之胞叔父母。
