In His Most Exalted Name
al-Islam Tahiri, may his blessings last:
I would like to inform you that your respectable letter showing concern for my well-being and expressing your affection has been received. Likewise, the telegram that you had written has reached us, which, God willing, will be answered separately. It is hoped that you do not forget to remember us in your prayers. I implore God the Almighty for the greatness of Islam and Muslims. May God's peace, mercy and blessings be upon you.
