Letter [to Sayyid Murtada Pasandideh]

In His Most Exalted Name

Dhou'l-Hijjah 24,1395 AH

I wish to inform you that I have received your esteemed letter dated Dhou'l-Qa`dah 21 on Dhou'l-Hijjah 23. I wanted to enquire about your health but the host of difficulties besetting the theological center and some vexing matters did not give me the time to do so. Now, having received your esteemed letter, I am extending my sincere regards to you. I am sorry about your indisposition. I pray and have prayed for you a number of times. May the Almighty God grant you optimum health and prosperity. In connection with the two amounts mentioned, one, 12710 and the other, 13967, an error had cropped up in both cases which was rectified some time ago, and was put into my account. In other words, they were paid to Mr. Khalkhali «1». I am requesting you to keep me informed, even if briefly, of your health every few weeks. Please do not forget me in your benevolent prayers. May God's peace, mercy and blessings be upon you.
