In His Most Exalted Name
My dear Ahmad,
I hope you are fine by the will of God, the Exalted. «1» Thanks be to God, we are all fine but in need of prayers. I sent a reply to your uncle's «2» letter through different means. I hope it will arrive. Pay lots of attention to him; serving him is a duty for you. I send my regards to the girls and your wife. I kiss Hasan «3» from far.
Your father
You better designate a place in Tehran or Qum so that I can send certain letters there.

For this reason, I had been summoned or arrested by the SAVAK for many times. God knows what I went through in those days."
«۲»- Sayyid Murtada Pasandideh, Imam Khomeini's brother.
«۳»- Sayyid Hasan Khomeini: Sayyid Ahmad Khomeini's child.
