In His Most Exalted Name
Dhou'l-Qa`dah 19,1389 AH
Dear Ahmad,
I responded to your missive a couple of days ago and in that I had made some complaints. God willing, you will forgive me and it is hoped that from now on you will get the point. God willing, Almighty God protects you and makes you successful in your study. I wonder if Sharh al-Lum`ah has been completed, or are you still working on it? Write me about the condition of your studies.
`Iqlim' «1» is spelled with an "a" [hamzah] and not an "`a" [`ayn]. Peace [be with you].
You father
Please deliver the enclosed letter to Faridah. «2» Follow your chest diet and have it invigorate so you get full recovery.
