Letter [to Sayyid Mustafa Khomeini]

In the Name of God, the Compassionate, the Merciful
My dear son,
As I have been told, the poor in Qum are in very bad condition. This has worried me much, but unfortunately, in my present situation I cannot serve well the people- the honorable servants of God Almighty. Please thank those who have contributed on my behalf and notify the honorable residents and the rich of high esteem that God Almighty brings about these times and conditions to examine us. You had better pass the divine test successfully by helping the noble Sadat and other poor people. If a person dies of the cold (may God forbid), we will all be held accountable and prone to the wrath of God Almighty. May God's peace and mercy be upon you and them.
Enclosed I send some money. Please have this sum, which is 60, 000 tumans along with the money donated by the honorable residents distributed under the supervision of the trustees of the district whether for coal powder or for provisions and clothing.
Rouhullah al-Mousawi al-Khomeini
