Blessed is thy state that thou art firm in the Covenant and steadfast in
the Cause of God. Rest thou assured of the bounty and providence of the
Heavenly Lord. Be thou rejoiced! Be thou a merciful being! Be thou
illumined! Associate with all the maid-servants of the Merciful with
utmost love and kindness, also with other women of the world.
I have prayed for the outpouring of the blessing upon those souls for whom
thou hast asked supplication of the Holy Spirit (in their behalf). I hope
that they may become quickened through the breeze of life wafting from the
garden of immortality and be gladdened with utmost happiness and joy. But
the capacity is necessary for the descent of rain, and preparation of soil
is of great importance. The heavenly outpouring will develop from the pure
ground roses and hyacinths. We also hope that such things will appear from
them.

she, and again, blessed is she!
