In His Most Exalted Name
His Eminence Murawwij al-Ahkam wa `Imad al-A`lam Mr. Mirza Husayn-`Ali Natiq al-Islam (may his graces last):
I received your kind letter enclosing your poems of eulogy to the prominent `ulama' (may their blessings last). Thank you for your kindness. I ask God Almighty for your constant success in promoting the sacred religion and exalting the pure word of Islam. I hope for your benevolent prayers. May God's peace, mercy and blessings be upon you.
