In His Most Exalted Name
His Eminence Thiqat al-Islam, the reverend orator, Mr. Shaykh Muhammad `Ali Ansari Araki (may his graces last):
I was most happy to receive your kind letter containing Your Eminence's sympathies. I also received another letter from Your Eminence with the same content from the holy city of Madinah. I highly appreciate Your Eminence's considerable efforts and your aid to the holy religion during the recent affairs. May it be appreciated by Hadrat Baqiyyatullah (may Allah expedite his glorious advent) and may you be rewarded. I ask God Almighty for Your Eminence's constant success in exalting the pure word of Islam. I hope to your benevolent prayers. May God's peace, mercy and blessings be upon you.
