In His Most Exalted Name
My dear Ahmad,
May you be healthy and happy, God willing. We are in good health, yet our spirits suffer. May God set aright the affairs of Muslims and relieve them of their problems.
I have sent the draft of thirty five thousand (35,000) tumans. Please take it, the money intended for the house, from Aqa «1» and hand it over to Mr. Ha'iri «2» and get the receipt for the same. Also give him the enclosed document for his attestation as well. They must give the dowry document «3» so that action is taken according to the law. There must be no negligence in these official matters. Please act in accordance with what I have written. Please ask your respected uncle «4» about the standard procedure; ask him to guide you. Give him my best regards as well as to sisters and Fati «5» Khanum. Kisses to Hasan, «6» just as I kiss his photograph, I have with me. Peace be with you.
Your father
