In the Name of God, the Compassionate, the Merciful
I do acknowledge with gratitude the receipt of your respected missive that was expressive of your good health was received here. I pray to God, the Blessed and Exalted, for your good health and success. I am optimistic about the goodwill of such persons like you and I sincerely hope that Almighty God will treat me according to the goodwill of you gentlemen and disregard my shortcomings.
As for the issue that was mentioned, I did not see it advisable to write anything about it. Given the case as it has been presented, there is no impediment for the ritual bathing [ghusl].
The "Marginal Notes to the `Urwah" «1» is subject to the same being given to you for delivery. At this time when I am staying here, it is not appropriate for me to dispatch them. I hope you will not forget in your prayers. May God's peace, mercy and blessings be upon you.
