In His Most Exalted Name

Rabi` ath-Thani 28,1391 AH

His Eminence `Imad al-A`lam wa Hujjat al-Islam Mr. Haj Mirza Mahmoud Nizam, may his graces last:

Your respected letter indicating your noble health and expressing kindness toward me is acknowledged. I beseech God, the Exalted, for your health and success. I was touched by the public condition of the districts and the straitened circumstances of its respected inhabitants. «1» It is hoped that by the will of God, their difficulties will be removed through your efforts and that of the respected inhabitants and the wealthy individuals of the districts. In case there is the need to spend the blessed Share on this issue, then the faithful are authorized to give to the needy in this matter.

I beseech God, the Exalted, for the improvement of the conditions of all the Muslims. I hope for your benevolent prayers for a good ending. May God's peace and mercy be upon you.
