In His Most Exalted Name
Dhu'l- Hijjah 6,1394 AH
Dear Dr. Yazdi, may God assist him:
Thank you for your `Id al-Fitr greetings. May it be auspicious for the Muslims, and help them rid themselves of the outsiders and their masters who have turned the people's happiness into mourning. It is hoped that the elimination of these hirelings is at hand, and the dignity of Muslims and Islam restored. Please excuse the delay in replying. Old age, the host of adversities, external and internal, and the preoccupation with developments- positive and negative- hinder me from being prompt. I hope you and the others will include me in your prayers. May peace be upon you.
Rouhullah al-Mousawi al-Khomeini
