May you be successful and healthy, God willing. Today I received a phone call to say that Aqa «1» is indisposed and all alone without a servant, and that the state of his food and catering are in a mess. I am very anxious about this. It is necessary for a servant to be at his disposal, or Mashhadi-Rida and Mashhadi Nadi-`Ali «2» go there in turns, or somebody else who knows how to cook for whatever wages he wants. I am waiting for you to let me know about his health and welfare. Do not assign the matter to others; you yourself should act directly and relieve me of this stress and anxiety. In case he is unwell, take a doctor from anywhere possible to see him and let me know. May God's peace and mercy be upon you.
