Letter [to Sayyid Ahmad Khomeini]

In His Most Exalted Name

Rabi` ath-Thani 27,1394 AH

My dear Ahmad,

I received two letters from you. I was glad to know that you and rest of my dear ones are doing well. I pray for the health and happiness of all. Regarding what you had written, I must say that it is not practicable for me to obtain permission «1» in this extremely grave situation with the instability in the theological center and the people not knowing what they are supposed to do. On the other hand, granting that there exists a remote possibility, you must not close your eyes to the humiliation that will be brought to us by the malicious ones of various places. In any case, do not take any action for the time being until it becomes clear as to what we have to do.

I beseech God to set things right. Convey my regards to all the girls and to your wife; kisses to Hasan. «2» May peace be with you.

Your father
