In His Most Exalted Name
His Eminence `Imad al-A`lam wa Hujjat al-Islam Mr. Ishraqi, «1» may he live long:
I am in receipt of your esteemed missive that was expressive of your good health. But you had not mentioned whether or not you had received my missive, including the recent missive about the authorization for the possession of that fund. In any case, I pray to Almighty God for your good health and that of Siddiqah «2» - the honorable apple of my eyes. Same goes for your children.
Thanks to God, I am in good health and the weather here is not a cause of concern as yet especially that we have a good basement and thanks to God, all facilities are available. The only cause of concern is Iran's situations. May Almighty God grant improvement, God willing.
I am glad that you have found the time for your study and having nothing to worry about. I had a missive from Mr. Lavasani; «3» he had mentioned," I transferred a sum of one thousand tumans." Let's assume that it has been received. In closing, I pray for your good health. May God's peace and mercy be upon you.
Rouhullah al-Mousawi al-Khomeini
