In His Most Exalted Name
Dhou'l-Qa`dah 6,1392 AH
My dear son,
I hope you are fine and happy by the will of God, the Exalted. We are all fine, praise be to God, the Exalted, and are happy over the arrival of Khanum. God willing, you are now taking `the advanced studies'[ dars al-kharij ]. Attend the lectures and choose the ones closer to your understanding. Regarding the baby's name, I don't know why you cannot decide. «1» Choose a name; of course, avoid a name that is strange to one's mind. If you desire `Hasan' is very good. Anyhow, select the name. Any name you and the baby's mother choose will be alright for us. Give my regards to her «2» also. Kiss the baby on my behalf. Peace [be with you].
Your father
