In His Most Exalted Name
His Eminence `Umdat al-Fudala' wal-Muhassilin Mr. Sayyid Nasrullah Husayni Mazandarani (may his success last):
I was most happy to receive Your Eminence's kind letter. I was deeply moved to know your distressing situation and educational problems. You have to overcome all difficulties through patience, endurance, ignoring the words of the enemies of the clergy and seeking help and assistance from the Lord, and relying on His Eminence Master of the Age (may Allah Almighty expedite his glorious advent). Continue your studies with sincerity toward God, and do not let yourself be affected by the unpleasant incidents which have happened and do happen to the noble clergymen more than others. I will also offer my help, as far as I can, through the travelers visiting the holy city of Mashhad. I ask God Almighty for your constant success and I hope for your benevolent prayers. May God's peace, mercy and blessings be upon you.
