My dear Siddiqah, «1»
Your full-of-love letter arrived and brought joy [to us]. May God, the Exalted, grant you happiness, good spirit, honor, and respect. Praise be to God, the Exalted, we are all fine, though emotionally exhausted. It is hoped that God, the Exalted, will favor us with relief. Give my regards to Mr. Ishraqi. «2» I pray for my darling. «3» Peace [be with you].
Your father
