His Eminence `Imad al-A`lam wa Hujjat al-Islam Aqa Sadiqi, may his blessings last:
I received your esteemed letter. I hope that you are fine, God willing and that your health would improve and recover fully. My own health is good, thanks to God, but I am passing the days in anxiety and worry. I hope that your prayers, gentlemen, will put an end to my worries and that the situation will improve. Please do not forget me in your benevolent prayers. May peace be upon you.
