In His Most Exalted Name
Sha`ban 6,1394 AH
My dear Ahmad,
Today I received a letter form you, and one from Aqa «1» in Damascus. I will answer his letter later on. Tell him not to write the figures in the Siyaqi «2» style; it is out-dated and could lead to errors. Khanum is all right. Mr. Sadr's family just came and she has gone to meet them.
Concerning the replacement «3» it is not advisable. Do not even speak to anyone about it. I do not approve of those you have in mind. Let it remain as it is till we see what happens. I will send Aqa's receipts to Syria through the Afghani; «4» perhaps they will reach him. Let me know of your welfare. Convey my regards to the virtuous Fatimah Khanum, and kisses to my dear Hasan. May peace be with you.
Your father,
They had sent a message that three hundred tumans have been paid. It is not known when. The money has not arrived yet.

«۱»- Mr. Sayyid Murtada Pasandideh.
«۲»- Siyaqi: an old, difficult manner of notation.
«۳»- It relates to choosing someone in lieu of Mr. Lavasani who was in exile. His Honor did not give his consent to such a move till the very end. In the Imam's letter also, the matter has been stated in this way [ ]
«۴»- Mr. Jalaluddin Farsi who used to reside in Syria at that time.
