In His Most Exalted Name
Jamadi ath-Thani 7,1390 AH
His Eminence Murawwij al-Ahkam wa'd-Din Mr. Haj Sayyid Shah Muhammad Husayn Misbah, may his graces last:
Your respected missive was received and I was aware of its subject matter. I pray to Almighty God for your success and victory in the promotion of the sacred faith and the true religion.
His Eminence Hujjat al-Islam Mr. Khalkhali «1» mentioned your subjects. The thesis and permission were sent. God willing, they will arrive there. It is surprising that many theses that were sent as per request by the most learned `ulama' of Kabul and other cities in Afghanistan were not received except some of them. To some it is even a probability that the government of Iran has a hand in the lack of delivery. I cannot believe that the government of Afghanistan will follow the government of Iran in this matter. Would Your Eminence and other gentlemen please be aware that the government of Iran is determined to select for Muslims a person who acts according to its will so that they can hush up any injustice done. And God knows best. I expect Your Eminence's benevolent prayer. May peace be upon you.
Rouhullah al-Mousawi al-Khomeini
