In His Most Exalted Name
My dear daughter,
I received your precious letter. May you and the others be healthy and happy. We are all right in terms of health, but have many concerns and worries. Please pray that everything ends well. So far, we have not been on the roof-top. Though it is advisable to do so, my wife does not allow it; either out of laziness, or the fear of catching cold. I also have to acquiesce. Give my regards to Mr. A`rabi «2» and my dear Fereshteh. «3» Do not forget me in your prayers. May peace be with you.
Your father
