In His Most Exalted Name
Dhou'l-Qa`dah 27,1386 AH
Thank you for your missive and the attachment, a blessed commentary on the Ravan-e Javid ["The Eternal Soul"]. I appreciate your achievement of such a valuable service and pray to God to greatly reward you and for the use of this work by others.
I hope you have had a complete recovery from your illness and ailment. Thanks to God, I am in good health, and even though such problems as chest pain and backache still exist, thanks to God, they are not that important. My mental ailment intensifies every day and this trend persists. May it be that by the will of Almighty God something good will happen and we take our complaints to Almighty God. I expect your benevolent prayers for a happy ending. May God's peace, mercy and blessings be upon you.

P.S. Kindly convey my regards to the esteemed Hujjat al-Islams of the seminary of discussions [hawzah al-mubahathah] - may their blessings last- and I hope for their benevolent prayers.
