In the Name of God, the Compassionate, the Merciful
Dhou'l-Qa`dah 20,1384 AH
I was most happy to receive your kind letter a few days ago. I ask God Almighty for Your Eminence's health and happiness.
I am fine, thanks to God. May God Almighty endow us with a chance to pray for Islam and the Muslims. I have no worries, thanks to God. Only being ignorant of the relatives' conditions makes me worry. May God Almighty protect you all. I acknowledge Ayatullah Khwansari's «1» considerable efforts. Please give His Eminence my regards. I hope for His Eminence's and your benevolent prayers. I will tell Mr. `Ali Bayk «2» about the photograph; maybe he can get one. Would you please deliver the enclosed paper to Qum «3» and send back if it is given a response. I ask God Almighty for the well-being of Muslims and the grandeur of Islam. Mustafa is fine- thanks to God and send his regards. May God's peace, mercy, and blessings be upon you.
Rouhullah al-Mousawi al-Khomeini
