Letter [to Sayyid Ahmad Khomeini]

«۱»- Sayyid Ahmad Khomeini has given the following explanation on the footnotes to this letter:The Imam believed that enhancing the stipends would increase the pressure exerted by SAVAK and some of the clergymen attached to it. Some other clerics would also be provoked. Ultimately, it became clear that the Imam was right because they withheld the Imam's stipend and would pay it in Ayatullah Haj Shaykh Ashtiyani's name. «۲»- Shaykh Muhammad Sadiq Tehrani, the Imam's authorized legal representative. «۳»- " Money for prayers and fasting would be easily paid": This is to divert SAVAK's attention from the letters or money belonging to the blessed Share of the Imam (`a) sent to Imam (Khomeini). Though people would bring these letters, they would be written in the manner stated as the possibility of being uncovered existed, in which case the carrier of the letter would at least have an explanation, albeit rather unconvincing, to give. «۴»- Rida is the son of Hadrat Ayatullah Lavasani, and in most cases in the letters the name refers to Aqa Lavasani himself. «۵»- Mr. Hindi, Imam Komeini's younger brother, had been abroad for the treatment of a fever that could not be cured in Tehran. He finally died because of it.
