Letter [to Ja`far Sabouri]

In His Most Exalted Name
Khordad 29, 1343 AHS
His Eminence Thiqat al-Islam Mr. Shaykh Ja`far Sabouri (may his blessings last):
I was happy to receive your kind letter indicating your health and conveying your kind regards. I was sorry to hear about the prisoners in the South and their terrible conditions. I had received similar complaints before and I made efforts to relieve them; I have been given promises about this. I hope their release will become possible soon, and there will be no more worries. I ask God Almighty for Your Eminence's continuous success in promoting the holy religion and exalting the pure word of Islam. I hope for your benevolent prayers. May God's peace, mercy and blessings be upon you.
