In His Most Exalted Name
Month of Fasting 8,1385 AH
Your Eminence Sayyid al-A`lam wa Thiqat al-Islam Mr. Aqa Sayyid Muhsin Hamedani, may his graces last:
I do acknowledge with gratitude the receipt of your respected letter, which indicated your health and your kindness toward me. I pray to God, the Exalted, for your health and success. One of the respected scholars there had given me before the glad tidings of your arrival and now that I learned from your letter that you will come, I am doubly pleased. I have much affection to those like you who discharge their religious duties and whose actions are endorsed by me. I pray to God, the Exalted, for you to become a beneficial servant of Islam and the Muslims. I hope that by the will of God, the Exalted, the honorable inhabitants will benefit fully from your presence. I agree to whatever arrangement you might have. I hope on these blessed days and nights, you remember me (in your prayers). May God's peace and mercy be upon you.
