Dear Bill,
I hope you are fine, I am well.
Since I came back from my holidays I was busy with signing “Edmond and Helga” book. The opening ceremony was held on Friday (12 August) and I was able to sign about 3500 books before the ceremony to avoid forming long queues.
If you can recall I have presented the English version of this book to Alisha in honor of our friendship. This book is a drama about creation of mankind and some characters of this play are: God, Adam, Eve, Mikel, Gabriel, Lucifer, jinn, spirit and angels.
The whole story is based on Adam and Eve whom do drugs on paradise and therefore they are forced out of heavens.
This is a play which starts with laughter and ends in tears. Some of theater stars were present on the opening day and they read a portion of this drama in turn. It was crowded and the environment was filled with excitement.
I auctioned the first book in favor of Congress 60.
Dear Bill, when auction started, believe me when I say none could blink and breathe. The price which was paid for the first book was equal to the price of 11200 books!
The second one was equal to 2600 copies and the third was equal to 1100 copies!
In fact the first three books was auctioned and the total received price was equal to 14900 books!
I sold 3500 copies and we lacked 300 copies which was brought later and sold without sign.
Dear Bill, I can’t express my feelings in that day, I am sending some photos to express the feelings.
According to the theater masters and mentors we have set a new record by printing 10000 copies. I think that we have to print more copies in next three months.
Meanwhile the annual summer camp of Congress 60 starts tomorrow and 300 individuals will tent in a mountainous area for during of 8 days. I will send related photos.
Friends and brothers on heaven and earth forever

Dear Hossein,
I am so pleased with the reception that the Edmond and Helga production and book have received. Thank you for sharing the photos of the opening ceremony. What an experience this must have been for you to see how many books sold and the prices paid when the first copies were sold at auction. Both are testament to the influence of your work and all the lives you have touched through the course of your life. I am very proud to have been blessed with our friendship.
I look forward to photos from the annual summer camp. To close out our summer, Rita and I are planning to visit the Grand Canyon next month. Neither of us has ever been there before so we are quite excited to see it and to visit Monument Valley within the American Indian Navaho Reservation. The trip will span about three weeks. I’ll let you know when we are leaving to anticipate a short break in our communications.
Friends and Brothers Forever,
Bill
