In the Name of God, the Compassionate, the Merciful
Khomein
His Eminence Hujjat al-Islam Haj Aqa Murtada (may his blessings last) :
I have the honor to inform you that I was most glad to receive your letter containing the news of Your Eminence's health. Thanks to God, I am not bad but the only thing is that I have not been feeling quite well in general and my heart aches every now and then, which is not so serious since it may well be the stomach. I have received some messages these days that seem to be for enticing me, so I did not take any notice. It seems that no agreement can be reached as long as this government is holding office. I cannot permit the sum you have mentioned to be paid to Mr. Hashim from Imam's Share, but if you are so kind to pay it from the part, which is my due, it will be acceptable. I look forward to your benevolent prayers. May God's peace and mercy be upon you.

P. S. It would be suitable if you send some money, in return of the grease, to Gulpaygan for Aqa Roushan who lives in Gawgad, «1» as it has been your custom every year. Please send it soon and let us know.
