北美私人收藏（編號1184-1188）

本輯出自劉翼凌舊藏（1903-1994）。劉氏畢業於廣東省立梅州中學，後入讀復旦大學中文系，因與陳樹人兒子陳復同學關係，得引見於陳氏，並獲賞識，聘為秘書。他們仝好詩詞，常相唱和，關係益切，陳氏詩集付梓即由他撰序。抗戰期間，他獲國民黨海外部派赴緬甸及印度工作，先後出任兩地黨總支部書記長。因國內政局遽變，四八年轉赴巴基斯坦，獲聘為達卡大學中文教授，是時，信奉基督教。一九五四年移居香港，從事文字宣道工作，參與多份宗教雜誌編務。六十年代中期赴美定居，仍致力於福音傳播。他好詩詞書法，尤擅草書，在港期間，與文藝界頗有交往。

劉翼凌與林風眠乃梅州中學同窗。在陪都重慶時，彼此亦有往還。一九七七年，林風眠自滬遷港，與是時移居美國之劉氏取得聯絡，劉氏亦向他購得作品多幅，本輯即其中部份。
