[O, Imam, the true successor of the Savior! O, ever roaring spirit in the mould of Islam! Your exhilarating command regarding the annulment of the laws running counter to Shari`ah and the revival of the brilliant laws of Islam in the country's justice departments and judicial administrations was a decisive and blessed measure we expected every moment. This divine move delighted the people interested in the implementation of Islamic laws, and removed a great sorrow weighing heavily on my heart. On account of my contacts with litigations and demands for justice by the people of Khurasan, I have been afflicted with the tyrannical and non-divine laws in the administration of justice. Now, I am hopeful that I will employ all my energy to implement His Highness's demand, which is identical to that of God and His Immaculate Imams.

In the Name of God, the Compassionate, the Merciful
His Excellency Ayatullah Shirazi, may his blessings last long,
I acknowledge the receipt of your telegram regarding the Islamization of the country's laws with appreciation. It is hoped that, God willing, those in charge of affairs will act ever more quickly and greatly succeed in getting rid of arrogance with the grace of God Almighty and special favors of the Savior (may our souls be sacrificed for him). I hope you will remember me in your good prayers. I wish you health.
