Thou hast asked for permission to come to our presence with his honor ......... I am also longing greatly after the meeting of the friends. If there was no obstacle, it would be very acceptable, but in these days, thy presence (in this land(102)) is not according to wisdom. Besides this, thou must be engaged in the service of the Kingdom in those parts. Also, the presence of his honor(103) ........ is of utmost necessity in those parts, for we henceforth forward all the Tablets to him for translation, that he may send to the believers. If he should move, this work would be neglected. Therefore now thou must wait until some happy occasion will bring this about later on. Also, thou hast written concerning the meeting with the minister of Persia. This is very acceptable. The believers of God must render utmost consideration toward Persian ministers and officials. Also convey respectful greetings from Abdul-Baha to all the friends of God. “O thou maid-servant of the Blessed Perfection!...” O thou maid-servant of the Blessed Perfection! Thy letter was received. It was written in Persian. I was very much pleased. I hope thou wilt memorize all the poetry of the Blessed Perfection and chant with wonderful melody in the assemblages and gatherings. These verses will soon be translated into English poetical form and then this Divine Song will rise from those lands and reach the ABHA Kingdom in utmost joy and happiness. Thou hast written that ........ is giving lessons of [the Book of] Ighan(104) ; this news brought me real joy. Thou hast written that ........ hath started upon her trips again, to be engaged in the service of the Kingdom. In reality she is attracted and will bear every calamity and trial in the path of the Blessed Perfection and this very thing will be conducive to her spiritual development. O thou attracted one! If thou art able, be thou engaged in the promotion of the Cause of God, either with ........ or alone. O thou maid-servant of God! Whatever thou dost and upon whatever occasion thou showest any effort, the end will prove fruitless except in teaching the Cause of God and in serving the divine Kingdom. If the means of thy travel to these parts(105) be brought about, it is better to come alone, because ........ must remain in those parts and be engaged in the service. The confirmation of the Holy Spirit will descend upon him uninterruptedly. Convey respectful greeting to the beloved maid-servant of God ........ and love her. “O thou attracted maid-servant of God!...” O thou attracted maid-servant of God! Thy letter *** was received and its contents produced happiness and joy, for it evinced affinity and love among the maid-servants of the Merciful One gathering in the assemblages and commemorating the name of the True One. *** Convey my respectful greeting to ........ and announce to her: “This period is a blessed period; endeavor that thou mayest live according to the requirements of this Glorious Age.”
