Give my compliments and my praises to thy estimable husband; my greeting
and praise to thee.
“O ye two maid-servants of God!...”
O ye two(220) maid-servants of God!
The Lord of the Kingdom hath invited, chosen and guided you through His
pure favor, feeding you from the heavenly table of divine knowledge! Know
ye the value of this favor and bounty and loosen your tongues in praise;
showing forth the power of knowledge and assurance and breathing the
spirit of guidance into the hearts of the seekers.
Ask from God that ye stand firm and steadfast in this great Cause.
I pray in your behalf, asking assistance and favor for you. I hope that ye
may become confirmed and helped.

Also, that He may guide, to the Kingdom of God, your father, mother and
friends, in order that by these heavenly blessings they may become
fruitful trees and obtain a portion of the great and glorious gift.
“O ye members of the shining assembly!...”
O ye members of the shining assembly!(222)
The letter which was written by you, was not a letter, but a musk sack.
For the fragrances of the rose-garden of its significances perfumed the
nostrils of every heavenly one; evincing firmness in the love of God,
steadfastness in the Covenant and Testament and affinity among the
