[+ 2] در ضمان سلامت ام و هیچ نامرادی 1
نیست مگر غمی آن عزیزان انشاالله کی هرچ زودتر 2
آن مراد بحاصل شود درین وخت نامهء شما رسیـ[ـد] 3
خبر سلامتی آوردن ما خوش دل شدیم باید کی خبر 4
سلامتی خود پیوسته می فرستیدن تا بدان تسلی باشد 5
ازین جانب برادر عثمان و محمد (؟) را سلام رساند 6
و آرزومندی نماید خاهر فاطمه را و سیمین را سلام 7
رساند و آرزومندی نماید ما را بدعا یاد دارند 8
هر کی از ما پرسد همه را سلام رساند عمر باد در سال 9
(حاشیه راست:) [+ 2] رساند و آرزومندی خاهر داند چندین کسان آيد ما را بیکی دستاره 10
(حاشیه پائین:) چه ما نمی فرستی چنین فراموش کرده ای 11

Folio:
1 [+ 2] I am safe and sound, and without any troubles,
2 other than the sorrow of [not seeing] those dear ones. God willing,
3 this wish will be fulfilled very soon. Your letter has just arrived,
4 [and] they have brought news of your good health. It made us very happy. Please
5 always send news of your good health, so that it might give me some comfort.
6 From my side, please send regards to the brother ʿUthmān and Muḥammad (?),
7 and convey [my] longing [to see them]. Please send regards to the sister Fāṭima and Sīmīn,
8 and convery [my] longing [to see them, and my hope] that they remember us in their prayers.
9 Please send regards to anyone who asks about us. May he live long.
10 (right margin:) deliver [+ 2] and [my] longing. The sister knows how many people come [here], and yet you do not send us a single turban,
11 (bottom margin:) as if you have forgotten [about] us.
