In His Most Exalted Name
Dhu'l-Qa`dah 25,1395 AH
After extending my greetings and salutations to you, I wish to inform you that I have replied to all your esteemed letters that I have received. This letter I am writing is in reply to your letter dated Dhu'l-Qa`dah 7. I received a hundred dollars on account of absolution from obligations to unknown persons, 810 tumans for prayers and fasting. God willing, may your performance of the Hajj rituals be accepted by the One God, glory be to Him. We are in good health, thanks to God, but you will hear about the difficulties. It must be said of the theological center that it has stopped functioning or is in the process of doing so; unless God Almighty grants a respite. I am passing the last days of my life in absolute uneasiness. Please don't forget me in your and your other friends' benevolent prayers.
It is necessary that you discontinue sending money for prayers until further notice; please inform the others as well. It is not known whether the holding of prayers will continue. May peace be upon you.
