In the Name of God, the Compassionate, the Merciful
Holy City of Mashhad
His Eminence Ayatullah Shirazi- may his blessings last:
Your honorable telegram has been received. At this sensitive moment when the unclean hands are busy plotting against Islam, the maintenance of unity of expression and seriousness in nullifying the treacherous plots are of utmost importance. I pray for your good health and success.
Rouhullah al-Mousawi al-Khomeini
