In His Most Exalted Name
Ramadan 22,1386 AH
His Eminence Haj Mirza Abou'l-Qasim Wakili, may Allah always assist and keep him:
Your noble missive that was expressive of your good health was received. I was glad to have previously received the news of your pilgrimage to Qum. I was not negligent in giving you my blessings and pray for you. May God bless you with success, good health and prosperity of this world and the next and make everyone the servers of the sacred religion and of the Living Imam, may God expedite his advent. No matter how you look at it, this world is ephemeral and with all its pleasantness and unpleasantness will pass speedily. What is important is to win the attention of those endowed with religious authority (`a) and the pleasure of the Almighty Creator. Let us hope that we will all succeed and prosper in meeting them. I was in particular worried and disturbed about your respected father, His Eminence Haj Wakili, may God, the Exalted, assist him, who did really experienced hardship. Thanks to God, for returning you to him. Let us hope that Almighty God will grant him good health and prosperity and the good of both worlds. Please convey my regards to his honor. Let us hope that the difficulties facing our other friends and the servers of the sacred religion are soon solved. May God's peace and mercy be upon you.
