In the Name of God, the Compassionate, the Merciful
8,1360 AHS/ Muharram 2,1402 AH
Your Excellency Ayatullah Shirazi- may your blessings last,
I received your letter that was expressive of your health. Regarding the subject you pointed out, the officials are aware of these questions and they have been duly reminded of it. God willing, nothing will be done against the standards and without the devise and agreement of the prominent `ulama'.
I pray to God for your continued success and health. I hope you will not forget me in your prayers.
May God's peace and mercy be upon you.
Be careful lest the deviant people represent the clerics as supporters of land-grabbers, criminals and usurers, as they have been try to do so.
