In His Most Exalted Name
Rabi` al-Mawloud 18,1389 AH
His Eminence Sayyid al-A`lam and Hujjat al-Islam Mr. Haj Sayyid `Ali-Naqi Tabasi, may his graces last:
Thank you for your respected missive which was expressive of your good health and your show of kindness for me. I pray to Almighty God for your good health and success. Thanks to God, I am in good health and I hope that with your prayers and other respected gentlemen I could enjoy mental comfort. As for the fund that you had mentioned you could spend. You are authorized, from now on, to accept all the funds that are directed to this humble servant and are referred to you and spend one-half of them and remit the other half to Najaf or Tehran for the attention of Haj Sayyid Muhammad Sadiq Lavasani to be remitted them to this humble servant. I hope for your benevolent prayers. May God's peace and mercy be upon you.
