Rabi`ul-Awwal 7, 1330 I have received your latest letter and found it miraculous in
proving possible what we thought to be impossible, amazing in its portrayal of imagery in
the most explicit depiction; so, praised be the One Who has simplified for you even the
most complex demonstration, bestowing upon you the reins of elucidation, till you achieved
what cannot be achieved by all means and won what cannot be won by the hopeful. We thought
that the causes are not related to what the authentic texts have implied, and that there
is no way to explicitly prove that they deviated therefrom. Yet I wish you had recounted
the incidents wherein they did not follow the explicit texts, so that appropriateness
becomes obvious, and the path of guidance manifests itself. I request you, therefore, to
elaborate on this matter, in the light of their well-known traditions, digesting whatever
is written in the books of chronicles regarding their way of thinking. Wassalamo Alaikom. Sincerely, S
