In the Name of God, the Compassionate, the Merciful
His Eminence Ayatullah Haj Sayyid `Abdullah Shirazi- may his blessings last,
I acknowledge the receipt of your kind letter, which is indicative of your good health and your compassion to me with appreciation. It is hoped that, God willing, under the blessing of the Imam of the Time, may our souls be sacrificed for him, and the good prayer of the honorable gentlemen, we can render ever greater and better service to Islam and Muslims and not be ashamed in the presence of God, the Most High. It is hoped that where prayers materialize and under the holy shrine of the eight Imam on whom be all blessings and greetings you will not forget me in your prayers. May God's peace, mercy and blessings be upon you!
