Letter [to Sayyid Ahmad Khomeini]

In His Most Exalted Name

My dear Ahmad,

Your letter dated Rabi` ath-Thani 14 arrived. I am delighted to hear that you are fine. Your cable, too, has arrived. With regards to the stipend, I wrote to say that I will send a draft, out of caution. I knew there was enough (funds) over there; I would not volunteer for issuing a draft. It was agreed that as long as you do not refer to Tehran «1» nothing shall be given for this month. I collected here the twenty thousand which was drafted; that is, Mr. Rida «2» has collected it in Qum on my account. If, God willing, you have a surplus there, do send me for assistance here. «3» I am glad to know that the gentlemen have made it up «4» between them. I hope they will always live in peace. We are all fine but the departure of the children made me lonely. «5» I hope they are all fine.

My reply to [your] uncle's letter and the receipts will be sent by some other means; «6» say salam to him on my behalf.

Your father
