[In His Most Exalted Name
Peace be upon you; I hope you are in good health and are always successful and victorious in your job. Dear Dorreh, I miss each one of you but my heart misses another one very much. You do not know how I miss him. He is my beloved grand father Haj Aqa Mousawi. Another thing is that I advise you to participate in the weekend prayers at the university. Dear Dorreh, Fatimah had written in her letter that she was missing me in the house. If mother grieves, I swear on you whom I love that I will be unhappy. Mother, I kiss your worked hands from afar. Likewise, I kiss the hard working hands of my beloved father that darkens in winter. Kiss each other on my behalf. Especially engineer Acharu! Convey my greetings to Mr. Shahrabi `Abdkhuda'i, Partow A`lam, Mr. Eskandari, Husayn Aqa, Houman and finally all whom you see especially dear mother, aunt Farah, Aunt Shirin, Aunt A`zam, Aunt Houri, dear Aunt Fakhri, dear aunt Fatimah, and cousins and paternal aunts and paternal and maternal cousins and finally to all. My Dorreh, I do not know finally whether I should change my name or not.
Happy New Year 3/1/1362 AHS
Your younger brother, `Ali
Eat in my remembrance for when I return I shall make you go bankrupt.
In His Most Exalted Name
Respected Head of the Imam's Office, peace be upon you,
After greetings and hope for your success, considering that my son is for the past eight months in captivity of the infidel men of Saddam, recently he has written a letter stating," I miss my grandfather Haj Aqa Mousawi very much." Since due to restrictions we cannot send posters or photographs of the Imam for him, therefore, please convey this letter to His Holiness Imam- may His blessings last- so that he writes a few lines as a blessing and to raise the morale of these beloved sons that are confined in the dark and humid prisons of Iraq.
While requesting to be excused, meanwhile at the end of the letter please sign it with your name Grandfather Haj Aqa Mousawi.
O God, O God, sustain Khomeini until the revolution of the savior Mahdi; shorten our lives and add our years to his. Amen, O the Creator of the Universe.

In the Name of God
My beloved son, I received your letter. I hope that God willing you are freed soon. We are worried about you but God is great. God willing, you succeed. Be patient for God is with the patient. May God's peace be with you.
Your Grandfather
