MY excellent and beloved brother, the happy and fortunate Khojeh Yadgar, may you enjoy life and prosperity and be happy. After many blessings and boundless affection be it known that it is a long time since I received a letter from you; on which account great expectation and anxiety have arisen. Out of my impatience and uneasiness I have sent a person for news of your welfare; and you must write me explicitly an account of your situation, and the cause of your not sending me any letter; that my languid spirits may be revived. Hereafter be not so remiss in sending letters and messages; for the arrival of letters from one another is in reallity a spiritual visit. Having set apart some presents and rarities of this country for my accomplished Brother I shall send them by and by. What can I write more? May the days of your happiness increase under the auspices of the letters <Arabic> & <Arabic>!
