In the Name of God, the Compassionate, the Merciful
Rasht
His Eminence Sayyid al-`Ulama' al-`Amilin wa Hujjat al-Islam wal-Muslimin Bahr al-`Uloum «1» (may his blessings last) :
I have the honor to inform you that I was most grateful to receive your worthy letter containing the news of your good health and Your Eminence's kindness towards me. I ask God, the Exalted for your health and happiness and I hope that we will be able to keep the government from attaining its evil ends, as far as we can, through the holy prayers and oblations.
I am determined to take any possible action and not to be frightened by the incidents on my way, so that I can fulfill my religious obligation. It seems that publishing journals supporting the Islamic causes in the north of the country will be helpful. Please give my regards to His Eminence Hujjat al-Islam wal-Muslimin Aqa Diyabari «2» (may his blessings last) ; and finally I hope you will not forget me in your benevolent prayers. May God's peace and mercy be upon you.
Rouhullah al-Mousawi al-Khomeini
