In the Name of God, the Compassionate, the Merciful
Jamadi ath-Thani 1,1399 AH
His Eminence Sayyid al-A`lam wa Thiqat al-Islam Mr. Wahidi, may his blessings last:
Your honored letter and the beautifully written verses that flowed from your gifted poetic talent have been received. I pray to the Almighty God for your health and happiness. I thank you for the hardship you have borne in the path of the Islamic ideals of the people of Iran and shall bear God willing from now onward.
It is hoped that by the will of God and the efforts of the people, we will attain our main objective, which is the establishment of an Islamic government based on the sacred commandments of Islam. I hope for your good wishes and prayers. May God's peace, mercy, and blessings be upon you.
