In His Most Exalted Name
Sha`ban al-Mu`azzam 28,1384 AH
His Eminence, Hujjat-al-Islam Mr. Khalkhali «1» (may his graces last):
I hope you are fine and in good health. I hear that you have had a pilgrimage to Mecca. May your pilgrimage be accepted by the Lord. I am fine, thanks to God. I have been in Istanbul for a few days. I leave for Bursa today. You and other friends need not to worry about me. Whatever God Almighty has predestined is for my own good, and I am grateful. Please give my regards to His Eminence Hujjat-al-Islam Mr. Lavasani «2» if he is still in the holy city of Najaf. I hope for Your Eminence's benevolent prayers, asking for a good ending for me. May peace be upon you.
Rouhullah al-Mousawi al-Khomeini
