In His Most Exalted Name
His Eminence Sayyid al-A`lam wa Hujjat al-Islam Mr. Haj Sayyid Mahdi Yathribi (may his blessings last):
I was most grateful to receive Your Eminence's kind letter. Receipt of the religious payments you had sent is acknowledged. Enclosed you will find the answer to your question about the Explanations on Wasilah answered on the same paper.
I ask God Almighty for your constant success in exalting the pure word of Islam. I hope for your benevolent prayers. May God's peace, mercy and blessings be upon you.
