In His Most Exalted Name
His Venerable Eminence, `Imad al-A`lam wa Hujjat al-Islam Mr. Jalali, may his bounties last long:
I have received with thanks your esteemed letter indicating your well-being and expressing your sympathy for me on this tragedy. The immense calamities that assail Islam and the Muslims are of such magnitude that they do allow any time to reflect on personal tragedies. Please do not forget me in your benevolent prayers for my salvation. It is hoped that you will always be successful in promoting the sanctities of the faith and in charitable affairs for the public's benefit. May God's peace and mercy be upon you.
