Letter [to Muhammad-Hasan A`rabi]

In His Most Exalted Name

Shawwal 9,1391 AH

Honorable Mr. A`rabi, may he live long:

Your respected letter dated Month of Fasting 29 «1» arrived. I noted its contents. It is clear that the gentlemen, whether Mr. Sadouqi «2» or Mr. Ha'iri «3» are not willing to purchase in the same manner as others do. Therefore, without any hesitation, sell the house in the manner in which you made in the preliminary agreement. For me to keep waiting beyond this is no more justifiable. Finish the transaction and send its sum through Mr. Diba'i for Khalkhali. «4» As there is no hope for life, I can sell the house in installments. Secondly, do not refer; finish the transaction. I hope for benevolent prayers from you. May peace be upon you.

Rouhullah al-Mousawi al-Khomeini
