In His Most Exalted Name
Rajab 17,1395 AH
My dear Ahmad,
I hope you are fine, God willing. The others and I are all right, thanks to God. However, the troubles and vexations of which you cannot imagine are many; nor of the snags (in terms of religious law and rationally) «1» besetting Khanum's coming. You write letters in succession, you write about her coming, making us anxious. She would have come if there were no obstacles. I hope God settles the matter so that favorably, you do not come and she does. Give my regards to all the daughters and to your spouse. I have replied to Hadrat Aqa's «2» letters. Give him my regards and remind him of this. Peace [be with you].
Your father
