What thou hast written hath caused joy and happiness, for it was an evidence of turning to the Kingdom and of seeking the bounty of heaven. I ask God to provide means whereby that which is thy utmost hope may be realized. Concerning the young Japanese, the answer to his letter is enclosed herein. Perchance this youth may be the cause of guiding his family and people.*** “O thou flower of the Rose-Garden of the Love of God!...” O thou flower of the Rose-Garden of the Love of God! The letter which thou hast written was read. Thou hast written regarding the arrival of the beloved maid-servant of God, Mrs. ........; that she has lived for eighteen days in your house and become the cause of joy and fragrance among the believers. Praise be to God! that thou hast seen the effulgence of the light of the covenant which hath enlightened all the countries. Invoke thou God that day by day the splendors of the Orb of regions may become manifest and evident more and more. Thou hast asked for permission to present thyself with thy dear husband in this Blessed Spot. In these days it is not according to wisdom. Postpone this matter until some other time. Convey greeting and kindnesses on my behalf to all the maid-servants of the True One. “O thou who art kindled with the fire of the Love of...” O thou who art kindled with the fire of the Love of God! Blessed art thou, for thy letter was presented at the Blessed Spot and was read by Abdul-Baha with a delight and love which is journeying out towards all directions. O servant of God! Be thou a sign of guidance, a standard of the Supreme Concourse and a light shining in the meeting of the maid-servants. Verily, I beseech my Lord to grant thee thy greatest wishes and to bestow on thee the privilege of entering into the center of the Kingdom of God; and to make thee a herald in His name, in that vast and extensive region. Deliver my greeting and praise to all the maid-servants of God. “O thou dazzling gem by the light of the Love of God!...” O thou dazzling gem by the light of the Love of God! Verily I read thy beautiful, elegant and expressive letter which informed [me] of thine extreme love for God, which (love) impresseth the souls and dilateth the breasts and which causeth thy heart to become filled with the knowledge of God and overflow with the favor of God. I ask God to make thee a sign of mercy and an exemplar of servitude to the Sublime Threshold. Thank God for saving thee from baseness, trouble, selfishness and death, and [that He] took away the veil from before thine eyes, manifested unto thee the Beauty of El-ABHA, granted thee healing, planted in thy heart the seed of love and thereby chose thee from among the maid-servants. Therefore, endeavor so that thou dedicate (thyself) entirely to God; no thought or mention should remain in thee save the name of thy Supreme Lord. Endeavor so that those countries become illumined by the light of the gift of God.
