In the Name of God, the Compassionate, the Merciful
Mr. Leoned Berjenef (?), Chairman of the Presidium of the Soviet Union,
I received your telegraph on the heartrending tragedy of the recent earthquake in Kerman with appreciation. I beseech God to grant success and happiness to all oppressed people of the world and patience to the families of this sad disaster.
