In His Most Exalted Name
Shawwal 23,1392 AH
Dear Faridah, my loving daughter:
Your respected letter arrived. I was happy to hear that all of you were fine. I hope you will always be happy and cheerful. Praise be to God, the Exalted, we are fine and awaiting Khanum's «1» arrival. I do not know if eventually they will give her permission to exit or not; it is with God, the Exalted. Inform me of your and the others' health.
Give my greetings to Mr. A`rabi and my sweet darling Ms. Fereshteh. The weather here is like spring, or rather, better than spring. Right now it is raining. I wish you were here. By His will, God, the Exalted, will provide the means for your coming here so that at the end of my life I can see you. Give my regards to my dear Siddiqah and Ahmad. By the will of God, the Exalted, may you be always healthy and happy. May peace be with you.
Your father
