In His Most Exalted Name
Rajab 8,1390 AH
His Eminence `Imad al-A`lam wa Thiqat al-Islam Mr. Khalkhali, may his graces last:
Your noble missive was received. Thank you for your show of kindness. Concerning the issues that you had written, the more important of all, i.e., the issue of monthly stipend has been acted upon. However, there remain two things to be scared of, which I do not assume for them to drag on. One is the prevention by the regime; you had indicated that there was no one willing to promote; there are many who are willing to promote. You may point out to the lack of remittance of funds. With the situation as is, some of my representatives are scared of accepting funds, and the majority of my authorized representatives, although some of them collect good funds, they do not deliver. They consider the property of the Imam (`a) as their own property and beyond. Under such circumstances, I do not assume that it is feasible to continue. However, it was done for the time being to see what comes out of it. As for the troubles that the seminary students, may God always assist them, have gone through, I pray to Almighty God to grant them success and confirmation. As for Khalkhal, leave that to a more appropriate time, God willing. I hope for your benevolent prayers. May peace be upon you.
