In His Most Exalted Name
Sha`ban 9,1398 AH
His Venerable Eminence Sayyid al-A`lam wa Thiqat al-Islam Aqa Haj Sayyid Mahdi Tabataba'i, may his bounties last long:
After extending my salutations and greetings to you, I wish to state that I have received your esteemed letter and that I pray for your health and prosperity. I am in relatively good health, thank God, but the worries and difficulties are many. Please do not forget me in your benevolent prayers. May God's peace and mercy be upon you.
Give my regards to the respected sisters. May they prosper, God willing.
