In His Most Exalted Name
His Eminence Sayyid al-A`lam wa Thiqat al-Islam Mr. Sa`idi, may his graces last:
Your noble missive was received. I pray for you good health and prosperity. The Istifta`at [Seeking Religious Advice] leaflet was also received. I do not see it convenient for these leaflets to be printed and published in the present manner for the reasons that I do not see fitting to explain right now. You should disregard their publication in this manner especially with the phrases on the verso of the sheet. «1» May God's peace and mercy be upon you.
Rouhullah al-Mousawi al-Khomeini
