My dear daughter,
May you be happy and healthy, God willing. If you want to know about your old father's condition, I am in good health, thanks to God. However, now in the dusk of my life, I have some concerns which are wearisome whether about the conditions here, or there. May God set matters right. Please convey my regards to Mr. A`rabi «2» and my dear Fereshteh. I hope all of you are happy. Peace [be with you]. Give the enclosed to Uncle. «3»
Your father
