In His Most Exalted Name
My dear Ahmad,
Your letter arrived. We are glad to learn that all are fine. We are difficulties; future will tell. Inform me of your and the others' health. Write to me in detail as to where Mr. Hindi «1» went, what he was treated for, and what were the findings.
Give my regards to Aqa. «2» Serve him in this cold winter season lest he would have a bad time. Convey my regards to the ladies collectively. I kiss Hasan from far.
Your father
