In His Most Exalted Name
Rabi` ath-Thani 8,1396 AH
Dear Ahmad,
I received your letter and was pleased to know that all are fine. I have replied to Aqa's letter which I hope he will receive, God willing. Now that I have found a traveler going by air, I am writing a few words to you.
Khanum had a gall bladder operation in Baghdad and returned safe and sound, thanks to God. She is now sitting in the room talking to Ma`soumah «1» Khanum. She is perfectly well, and so are we. Please convey my regards to all. Peace be with you.
