In His Most Exalted Name
Muharram 13,1391 AH
My dear Ahmad,
May you be both healthy and happy by the will of God, the Exalted. A letter from Mr. Sani`i arrived which was very long and if the issues written are true, he and you are responsible in the second rate and are confirmers of chaos. At any rate, it is better that peace and harmony would prevail between the two gentlemen. Try hard to make peace between these two, so that I will not be worried more than this. Mr. Sani`i, based on the notion that Mr. Tehrani has written something to me, wrote some issues which has made me anxious. I am awaiting the news of their reconciliation. I do not know why the gentlemen have differences; what value does these few days of life have that one disturbs his friends?! Unless religious issues are at stake, and it is only for the sake of God, the realization of which is immensely difficult. Give my greetings to all the children. Thanks to God, now my health is good. If you heard that I was ill it was not important and now I am no longer ill. It was just weakness due to old age and until you have not reached it you do not know what it is! Peace [be with you].
Your father
I received a letter from Mr. Sayyid Mousa `Alawi; he complains about his condition. As you deem it advisable, try to help him every month or every now and then.
