In His Most Exalted Name
His Eminence Muhammad-Jawad Qa'imi (may his successes last):
Thank you for your kind letter enclosing the piece of poetry about my arrival in the holy city of Qum, and containing your kind sympathies. I ask God Almighty for the success of all the Muslims in the world, and I hope for your benevolent prayers. May God's peace, mercy and blessings be upon you.
