In His Most Exalted Name
Shawwal 13, 1387 AH
I beg to inform you that your noble missive was received today through Mr. Nahwi. I hereby apologize for the trouble that you have been put through in going to Qum every month to help. I hope that your warm inclination causes appeasement for all and the anxieties of the gentlemen are thus alleviated. It was indicated that the state of my health was not satisfactory and in a «2» way. God willing, your respected patient is in her good general health. Thanks to God, I and others are in good health and pray to Almighty God for making me succeed in serving the gentlemen.
