[To the Eminent Religious Authority of the Shi`ah World, the Great Leader of the Islamic Revolution, His Holiness Imam Khomeini- may Allah grant favor to the Muslims throughout his noble existence,
It is to be noted that as what is well known to Your Eminence, with the aim of gathering historical documents and writing the history of the Islamic Revolution, the Documents Office of the Islamic Revolution was established in 1359 AHS (circa 1980) with the cooperation of my brother, Hujjat al-Islam wal-Muslimin Haj Karroubi. «1» At the beginning of function of this Office, instruction was taken from Your Eminence regarding administration of the affairs and expenses. Your Eminence favorably granted as you verbally assigned the allocation of its expenses to Mr. Karroubi and the Martyrs of the Islamic Revolution Foundation. Then, in reply to my letter, my brother Hujjat al-Islam wal-Muslimin Haj Sayyid Ahmad Khomeini also highlighted Your Eminence's view about the payment of the expenses of this office by the martyrs of the Islamic Revolution Foundation. In spite of this, in order to eliminate any worry that may occur in the future, I beg to ask Your Eminence to write your blessed view, as you deem it appropriate, for the administration of affairs and expenses of this office to be entrusted to Haj Aqa Karroubi, as in the past May God's peace, mercy and blessings be upon you.
Rouhani
Esfand 8,1367 AHS]

His Eminence Hujjat al-Islam Karroubi- may his graces last,
The expenses of the Documents of the Islamic Revolution Office whose administration is with Hujjat al-Islam Sayyid Hamid Rouhani, is in charge to the Martyrs' Foundation, as in the past.
Rouhullah al-Mousawi al-Khomeini
