Letter [to Sayyid Ahmad Khomeini]

In His Most Exalted Name

Dear Ahmad,

I have received your letter. I hope that you are doing well, God willing.

1. The letter has been misinterpreted; you must apologize to Hujjat al-Islam Mr. Rabbani whom I hold in great esteem.

2. I do not disapprove of, now or ever, helping the theology students and the poor. Please act according to what you and your respected uncle «1» think well; likewise what Mr. Rabbani deems advisable I approve fully.

3. Please endeavor earnestly to ensure that there is good will among the gentlemen; differences are harmful for them and for all.

4. Take the sum of two thousand tumans from Mr. Lavasani, or Uncle or Mr. Tehrani and hand it over to Mr. Khalkhali, «2» and also five hundred to Mr. Kiyani.

5. Do not embroil yourself in the disputes between the theology students and the preachers over the book «3» and other things. God will rectify matters if He so wills. Remember me in your prayers. Give my regards to the girls and your dear wife.

Your father
