In His Most Exalted Name
Dear Ahmad,
Apparently I do not owe you any letters, «1» neither you nor Khanum. «2» God willing, you are engaged in a wholesome activity. I hope you are fine and happy. I do not know what made you go to the library; were there no students? Or, did you have them vacate? Write to me. It is very odd to have told them to leave. Anyway, seminary students must remain there; find housing for yourself and leave the place. «3» Do not do this again. Regarding the internal problems I have written to the gentlemen but I doubt that the issue will be settled. Anyhow, it is not important. You give this matter too much importance while it is not so important. It makes no difference whether it becomes so or not. What is important is that you are busy with your studies and research. If you have authored anything send them for our benefit. May God grant you success. Extend my regards to your wife, children and Ma`soumah Khanum. «4» No more time now and if too much is written it may not be delivered to you! Peace [be with you].
Your father
