After greetings
I was honored to receive your letter dated the 1st of the current month regarding my daughter Ruth, and I have noted
the directions and advice you provided, which I will work on as much as possible.
I take this opportunity to implore you to give my daughter Ruth your fatherly attention
and to favor her with your wise guidance from time to time.
I am certain that this action of yours will raise her morale and alleviate for her
the burden of studying and will drive her to strive and work hard throughout the year.
I believe you agree with me, Professor, that my daughter Ruth, like my other children (Ibrahim Kursilad),
is obedient and diligent and deserves your care, encouragement, and guidance, and God does not waste the reward of those who do good.
May you remain in glory and respect
Sincerely
The father of the student Ruth
