جلد ۲ صحیفه امام خمینی (ره)، از صفحه ۳۶۵ تا صفحه ۳۶۶
In His Most Exalted Name
My dear Ahmad,
Your letter dated Rabi` ath-Thani 14 arrived. I am delighted to hear that you are fine. Your cable, too, has arrived. With regards to the stipend, I wrote to say that I will send a draft, out of caution. I knew there was enough (funds) over there; I would not volunteer for issuing a draft. It was agreed that as long as you do not refer to Tehran «1» nothing shall be given for this month. I collected here the twenty thousand which was drafted; that is, Mr. Rida «2» has collected it in Qum on my account. If, God willing, you have a surplus there, do send me for assistance here. «3» I am glad to know that the gentlemen have made it up «4» between them. I hope they will always live in peace. We are all fine but the departure of the children made me lonely. «5» I hope they are all fine.
My reply to [your] uncle's letter and the receipts will be sent by some other means; «6» say salam to him on my behalf.
Your father
Rabi` ath-Thani 20,1391 AH
 
«۱»- egarding the footnotes of this letter, Sayyid Ahmad Khomeini has written, thus:At the start of paying stipends to students of Qum there was need of help from Mr. Lavasani, Imam's attorney in Tehran and help was obtained. Later on, Qum was able to manage itself and could send money to Najaf and theological centers in other cities. «۲»- It refers to Hujjat al-Islam Aqa Rida, the clergy son of Hadrat Ayatullah Lavasani. «۳»- Najaf al-Ashraf Theological Center. «۴»- This refers to the misunderstanding that existed between Ayatullah Pasandideh and Mr. Tehrani, which within a short period was changed into a close friendship. «۵»- It refers to the daughters of the Imam who went to see him once every two years. «۶»- The Imam acted according to the knowledge he had of men who went to visit him in Najaf. If a visitor was coward, he would not give him any letter. If the visitor was average he would be given ordinary letters and if he was a combatant he would be entrusted with sensitive letters, receipts of religious funds and Imam's share or portion to carry. For, if the messenger got into trouble, many others could get in trouble, and be roughly handled by the Shah's regime and SAVAK, and to find out why, for example, so and so has delivered the Imam's Share [sahm al-imam] to Mr. Khomeini.
