In His Most Exalted Name
Sha`ban 20,1396 AH
I pray to the Almighty for your health and happiness, and beseech Him to grant you forbearance. I have replied to all your letters, but now a letter from Mr. Shari`at «1» has arrived, the contents of which must be brought to your notice.
1- He writes to say that he has so far been paying the stipends of the Quetta «2» Madrasah, and can continue to do so for another two or three months. He needs assistance from Qum which has not come up to now. Kindly write to him in whatever way possible, and assist him in connection with the stipends.
2- Concerning the Madrasah building, he has stressed that it is essential; abandoning it would give rise to some forms of corruption. Kindly send him the required amount little by little after corresponding with him. Please do not forget me in your benevolent prayers. May God's peace and mercy be upon you.
