In His Most Exalted Name
Dhou'l-Hijjah al-Haram 26,1397 AH
His Venerable Eminence, `Imad al-A`lam wa Thiqat al-Islam Mr. Haj Shaykh Muhammad-`Ali Ansari, may his bounties last long:
I have received with thanks your esteemed letter indicating your well-being, and expressing your sympathy for me. I pray to God, the Exalted, for your health and happiness. It is hoped that, God willing, you will include me in your prayers with the thought that they will be accepted. May God's peace and mercy be upon you.
