Sha`ban 9
God willing, I hope you will get well soon. I would have been glad if you had stopped here at Qum on your way. I needed to notify you of some points. You had asked about your religious obligation concerning hajj. It is your duty to postpone your hajj pilgrimage until you feel well, God willing if you hope to perform it in person, and if you see it improbable that you will get well, you will need to choose a person as a deputy to perform it for you, and try not to delay it. At the end, I wish you would soon be healthy. Peace [be with you].
