In His Most Exalted Name
Rabi` al-Awwal 27,1396 AH
I would like to extending my greetings and salutations to you, and inform you that I received your letter dated Safar 12, yesterday. I pray to God to assist you and give you success.
The important matter to tell you is that I have sent a little more than a hundred dollars- for the seven hundred tumans that had been mentioned- to Mr. Hajj Shaykh Nasrullah «1» through Husayn Taqawi-Nezhad. I had written that the money was received as I was under the impression that he had intimated the receipt of the money. But on exchanging correspondence, he has written several times to say that he does not recall such an item. It is essential that you send Husayn Taqawi immediately to Syria to remind him of the matter by means of clues and tell him to let me know of the receipt of the money. I do not know what can be done if the money has not been received; in any event, please take urgent action. Your letters were dated Shawwal and Dhou'l-Qa`dah. Whatever the case, this item has not arrived. I have again made enquiries from him without any response as yet.
You may give Mr. Shaykh Muhammad Hasan «2» the money that he wants to borrow; it is all right. Please do not forget me in your benevolent prayers. May peace be upon you.
