In His Most Exalted Name
My dear Fereshteh,
I have received your letter of condolence, «2» my kind daughter. I, on my part, also express my condolences to you and the rest of the family. May God protect all of you, my dear ones. We are fine, thanks to God, though the untoward occurrence does not give me respite. I pray to God to grant me fortitude and forbearance. Peace be with you.
Your father
