Letter [to Sayyid Ahmad Khomeini]

In His Most Exalted Name

Sha`ban 24,1396 AH

My dear Ahmad,

I have received two letters from you, one dated 9 th instant, and the other undated, which arrived together. May God Almighty grant you health and success. The condolence telegram was also delivered directly to me, causing me great distress. «1» I, on my part, wish to offer you my condolences as well. May God bless his soul. I do not know the topic on which the aforementioned had spoken from the pulpit that irked the gentlemen. «2» In any case, such things occur. Please give the enclosed letter which is in the late uncle's handwriting to Aqa Mansour. «3» Give me more news of your well-being. Is uncle buried in `Ali ibn Ja`far,«4» or somewhere else? I do not know when Khanum intends to come. Is she coming with Husayn or not? Your brother is fine, and usually has his lunch and dinner with me. I pray to the Almighty to keep everybody happy and healthy. May peace be with you.

Your father

Convey my regards to Hadrat Aqa, «5» and let me know of his well-being.
