In His Most Exalted Name
I have the honor to inform you that I was most happy to receive your kind letter indicating your health and containing the greetings on the blessed occasion of Ghadir festivity. May God make this occasion auspicious for all the Shi`ah of the world.
You have asked about a reliable treatise. I would recommend the published Explanations on Wasilat an-Najah[ the Means of Salvation ]and that of `Urwat al-Wuthqa[ the Firm Handhold ]along with an erratum that you can find in the bookstores. About distributing the general salary in the blessed seminary of the holy city of Mashhad, I should say that it is very timely but is not possible yet in my present conditions given a great number of people who refer to me everyday. Please pray that the obstacles are removed so that I could proceed with the salaries. I hope you will not forget me whenever you feel God will accept your prayers. May God's peace, mercy and blessings be upon you.
