Azcar and enjoyed commemorating the Lord of the verses with
the greatest joy.

That melody was heard by the Supreme Concourse and that rose-song of the
nightingale of faithfulness gladdened the people of the rose-garden of
ABHA.

I am hopeful that, during the coming Rizwan(62), a great feast shall be
held in the land of the Mashrak-el-Azcar, a spiritual celebration prepared
and the melodies of the violin and the mandoline and hymns in praise and

beloved and the dear maid-servants of the Merciful, especially Mrs.
.......... and thy dear daughter.

love of God. Blessed art thou for having been thus favored and for having
attained to guidance.
