In His Most Exalted Name
Dhou'l-Hijjah 4,1385 AH
I do acknowledge with gratitude the receipt of your kind letter which indicated of your health and kindness to me. I pray to God for your health and prosperity. I am grateful to you for being attentive to the Qum Religious Seminary. Of course these days that the sacred seminary is confronted with every sort of calamities, the scholars in all cities must pay closer attention to the seminary so that by Allah's blessing they will suffer no weakness. I beseech God, the Exalted, for the glory of Islam, the Muslims and the `ulama' of Islam. Of course, you must pay more attention to the Qum seminary and if it would be appropriate for you to pay attention to me also because one cannot refuse human expectations. I pray to God, the Exalted, for the health and success of all those who serve the binding religious law. May God's peace and mercy be upon you.
