In the Name of God, the Compassionate, the Merciful
I have the honor to inform you that I hope, with the grace of God, you are totally fine and healthy. Thanks to God Almighty, the Muslims made great improvement concerning this affair and the clergy attained special grandeur. Although we suffered a lot, experienced much bitterness and there were many sad truths that were disclosed to us, «1» which I wish they were not, the bitterness disappeared when the bill was abolished despite the obstinacy of the government. I was busy appreciating the personalities and I have to confess that Your Eminence stood in the foremost position (may God bless you for your efforts and reward you the best out of Islam). I congratulate you on your sincerity, but now we should be aware that the enemy might wake up again «2» and seek some way of doing harm and making up for its scandalous defeat. I still need to benefit from the ideas of persons like Your Eminence. I hope, God willing, to tell you more when we meet later on to find a suitable solution. May peace be upon you.
