His Eminence Shaykh al-`Ulama' al-A`lam wa Hujjat al-Islam Mr. Haj Aqa `Ataullah Isfahani, may his graces last:
Thank you for your noble missive that was expressive of your good health and a show of your kindness for me. I pray to Almighty God for your good health and success.
Thanks to God, I am in good health and pray to God to make me successful in serving Islam and the Muslims. I hope to be subject to your prayers for a good ending. As for your noble son's stipend, I have asked in writing for a general consideration of such matter. God willing, it will be acted upon. May God's peace and mercy be upon you.
