In His Most Exalted Name
Sha`ban 26,1394 AH
My dear Ahmad,
I implore God to keep you, the family and dear Hasan «1» safe and sound. We are doing well, thanks to God. What worries me is that Aqa «2» had told your mother that the sum of three hundred tumans has been given through Mr. Sayyid Hasan for prayer [namaz]and fasting [rouzeh]. «3» The money has not been received until now; apparently your mother has made a mistake. A sum of two hundred tumans and a hundred tumans for prayer and fasting had been received previously through him and Mr. Gareschi «4» respectively. However, this happened several months ago. Write to me about this matter sooner so that the mistake is rectified. Give my regards to Aqa. Peace [be with you].
Your father
