Memoirs of Akbar Hashemi – August 10, 1998

I woke up in the morning. After prayer, we went for mountain climbing; It took about seven hours. I was extremely tired. We went to Tochal through Kolakchal, and after crossing the heights, instead of going to Tochal, we descended to Shirpala. We rested next to a spring in Piazchal river and I slept a little. On the way down, the muscle of my right leg was very tight, but it was soon relieved by rubbing. It has interesting waterfalls. We stopped at Shirpala. Two Afghan workers and Sanandji prepared bread for breakfast there and received a tip. It has a good building and restaurant. We moved towards the five cable car station, when I got tired and stopped every 30 meters at the end of the height. The sun was also bothering me. We arrived at the station at one o'clock in the afternoon and we drove to the city and home. Due to extreme fatigue, I did not eat lunch and slept.

After resting and bathing and in the afternoon, I wrote the memories for three days. I saw the news on the computer. They brought the work, I did it. Yasser came; Negotiations were made to publish the memories of 1360. He took responsibility for printing and distribution and gave good suggestions. Chastity and Fati called from Spain. They are satisfied with their trip.

Mr. Khatami, [the president], said on the phone that he will send the status of appeal courts and Ayatollah Montazeri's new pamphlet on the legal guardianship. He had already said that a letter was prepared by Mr. Montazeri to retract some of his harsh words. To solve the problem, but since the letter states the condition of notifying the leader, as well as the role of other authorities, as well as emphasizing that the leader is a supervisor, it is a violation of intent. The pamphlet arrived at night; It has the same points. It seems that the same letter has been completed.

Mohsen and his family members came. They brought dinner. Ehsan, Mohsen's little son, just got started and did many stunts.
