In His Most Exalted Name
This morning an unsigned letter was dropped at our door. The subject pertains to the objections raised regarding the recent book: «1»
1- The accusation made against you ten years ago, concerning `Abdul-Nasir, has been raised again. This is not appropriate. «2»
2- The telegrams sent concerning your coming to Iraq, despite their being unrelated to the matter, were attributed to some telegrams of the Front. «3» This could lead to discord.
I have not read the book again. If you consider the objection as valid, please think it over.
Najaf, Iraq
