In His Most Exalted Name
Ramadan 24,1392 AH
His Eminence `Imad al-A`lam wa Hujjat al-Islam Mr. Haj `Ataullah, may his blessings last:
The receipt of your respected letter which expressed kindness toward me is hereby acknowledged with utmost gratitude. I pray to God, the Exalted, for your health and happiness. You expressed concern of the area's condition. This type of worries is everywhere and patience toward it results in rewards and blessings from God. I hope that with forbearance on the part of others similar to you the matters will be amended. I hope for benevolent prayers from you. Mr. Shaykh Muhammad `Ali Aqa'i is permitted to spend a reasonable amount from the Imam's (`a) Share for his sustenance. May God's peace and mercy be upon you.
