In His Most Exalted Name

Shawwal 16,1392 AH

My dear Ahmad,

Your letter dated `Id al-Fitr arrived. I am glad to know that you and others are all fine. I ask God, the Most High, to grant you health and happiness. It is good that while engaged in Makasib and Kifayah, you attend also `the advanced studies' [dars al-kharij] lessons; «1» choose the one which is closer to your understanding. Convey my regards to Hujjat al-Islam wal-Muslimin (your) esteemed uncle, may his blessings last. «2» Praise be to God, the Exalted, I and the rest are fine. Husayn has completely recuperated «3» and now is going to school. Give the enclosed envelope to Mr. Lavasani «4» through a reliable means. I ask God, the Most High, for your success in studies and purification. May peace be with you. Give name to my darling, «5» apply for a birth certificate for him, and give my regards to his respected mother. «6»

Your father
