In His Most Exalted Name
I have received your esteemed letter. I hope that this union be auspicious and blessed, God willing. I have filled out the marriage contract and sent it under separate cover. Your letter states that the terms of the marriage contract have been written on a separate page; there was no such page mentioning these. Nevertheless, Mr. Bujnourdi and I have executed the contract according to the terms agreed upon between you. Yesterday, they brought me the ten dinars from Mr. Khalkhali's «1» house that you had sent. But its purpose could not be ascertained. Perhaps, it is the sweet for the wedding; please write and let me know. With regard to his annoyance with the people mentioned in the letter, I should say that the matter did not concern Mustafa «2» whatsoever. But the people with ulterior motives who were looking for an opportunity did what they wanted to do. But I do not know the reason for his trip. He, on his part, did not tell me. However, it became clear from Mr. Madani that it concerned accounts. It is not true that I have people around me. Just one person to whom they have attributed an apparent lie; he stays in the exterior part of the house to answer those seeking advice. In any case I feel sorry that such a misunderstanding arose after a friendship of forty years or more with Mr. Khalkhali, and it so happened that the malicious people exaggerated the matter. May God's peace and mercy be upon you.
