Letter [to Rida'i]

In His Most Exalted Name

Rabi` al-Awwal 25,1399 AH

Honorable Thiqat al-Islam wa Murawwij al-Ahkam Mr. Rida'i, may his graces last:

We received the letter you had written regarding the introduction of Haj `Ali Asghar Shirkat. Concerning the formation of a committee under the supervision of the great `ulama', which you have requested, you may act upon it as you deem right, please extend my greetings to the great `ulama' of the City of Turbat- may their blessings last- and form the above-mentioned committee under the supervision of the respectable gentlemen (`ulama').

Regarding the martyrs' families and their expenses, the great `ulama' and esteemed people there are authorized to spend out of the blessed Imam's Share «1» for their living expenditures and needs. You may also use this money on the city's police precincts and half-burned buildings whenever necessary. Or, if not, consider another building appropriate for the police forces.

Regarding the return of the Kurds, act according to what the Islamic Revolutionary committee under the supervision of the great `ulama' and your honor deem right. I implore the Exalted God to give you continued successes. May God's peace and mercy be upon you

Rouhullah al-Mousawi al-Khomeini
