In His Most Exalted Name
His Eminence Hujjat al-Islam Haj Shaykh Mousa Yekta (may his blessings last):
I have the honor to inform you that I was most grateful to receive your kind letter indicating your health and containing your congratulations on my arrival in the holy city of Qum, which was also signed by the honorable scholars and tradesmen of Sumi`ihsara. I thank Your Eminence, His Eminence Thiqat al-Islam Shaykh `Abdul-`Azim Yekta, and His Eminence Murawwij al-Ahkam Shaykh `Abdul-Karim Muhammadi (may their graces last) and the other honorable residents, for their kind sympathies. I ask God Almighty for everybody's success in exalting the pure word of Islam. I hope for Your Eminence's benevolent prayers whenever you feel God will accept them. May God's peace, mercy and blessings be upon you.
