In His Most Exalted Name
Muharram 7,1399 AH
I would like to inform you that I am grateful for your kind letter, which carried the news about your good self's health and also your kindness toward me. I pray for your health and prosperity.
What you have written in your letter and what have been narrated by respectable Mr. Sadouqi are what are resorted to in order to silence the people. But the easiest way is to eliminate the person who is the mastermind behind all the revolutions; so far as he is there, nothing can be done. Please do not listen to what these people- who procrastinate to keep him- say. We have a duty that we must discharge, whether we win or not. I beseech the Almighty God for the rectification of the affairs. May God's peace and mercy be with you.
