It is very acceptable for you to present to them the excellent praises which the Blessed Perfection hath made in behalf of these two governments, the exhortations which He hath delivered for obedience to them and the prayers He hath written for the confirmation and protection of His Imperial Majesty the Shah. Likewise, the advices and recommendations that this servant (Abdul-Baha, himself) hath written in Tablets to Persia and America; also the irrefutable command that the Blessed Perfection hath given in Tablets that the believers must obey the kings with the utmost sincerity and fidelity, and He hath forbidden them to interfere at all with political problems. He hath even prohibited the believers from discussing political affairs. Convey respectful greeting on my behalf to the favored maid-servant of God, Miss ..., the the utmost kindness and announce to her: “These services and self-sacrifices of thine in the Kingdom of God are acceptable.” O thou servant of the Blessed Perfection! Since I have found this paper very eloquent, I send it to Persia. O thou dear friend! I entreat from His Highness the Desired One that He may grant divine confirmation to that illumined youth to such an extent that he may become the main-spring of spiritual emotions in those regions. Convey respectful greeting with the utmost longing to all the friends of God on behalf of this servant. “Thy letters were received. Although thou hast...” Thy(229) letters were received. Although thou hast complained on account of not receiving answers to the petitions of the people, yet thou hast no right to do so, for the letters coming from those regions are like unto a sea—who is able to answer all of them? Some of the letters are not received and this is not the fault of the friends and, as the administration of the post is not well organized, many letters are lost in the mail. But to those letters which are received, God willing, no neglect will be displayed so far as there is time to answer them. Thou hast written regarding the formation of three gatherings for spreading the Tablets; this is very acceptable. Convey greeting on my behalf to the maid-servant of God, Miss .... I have written two Tablets with my own hand to her so that she may realize that her services are accepted. Likewise, I have written a Tablet to his honor Mr. ..., with my own hand, so that he may known also that his endeavors are praised. Thou hast forwarded the copies of six letters addressed to thee form different assemblies in America. I have not yet found time to read them, but, God willing, I will read them. Rest thou assured. I have not time at the present for more than this. Upon thee be greeting and praise! “O thou who are firm in the Covenant!...” O thou who are firm in the Covenant!
