In His Most Exalted Name
Rajab 12,1385 AH
His Esteemed Eminence Ayatullah Mr. Akhound, may his blessings last:
Please allow me to state that your telegram asking about my condition is greatly appreciated. Since I have been informed that my telegrams are not being delivered and that telegrams coming from Iran are not being delivered to me I am not replying by telegram. By the grace of God and thanks to Him I am fine. I hope that Almighty God would deem it so in the future from now on as well. I ask for your continuous blessings and ask for your prayers. May God's peace, mercy and blessings be upon you.
Rouhullah al-Mousawi al-Khomeini
