of the
guidance of God!

I beg of God, that thou and thy revered husband and thy affectionate
father will be confirmed by the gift of the Merciful One; and that thy
brother will also follow you, in order that he may, through the gems and
pearls of the guidance of God, wear a kingly crown on his head.

O thou favored maid-servant of God! I give thee the name Natekah (i.e.,
Speaker--gifted with speech; it can also be written Nate_gh_eh), in order
that thou mayest find an eloquent speech in teaching (the Truth); that
thou mayest kindle the lamp of light in those parts, especially in
Baltimore, and bestow joy and happiness upon the hearts through the
commemoration of God.

My good pleasure is in this, that thou shouldst devote thy time wholly to
teaching (the Truth), so that thou mayest train the souls, illumine the
eyes, and make the ears hearing.

O thou bird who art warbling in the Garden of the Guidance of God!

Verily, I read thy excellent and brilliant letter. It showed how thou hast
sought the fire of guidance from the Sinaitic Tree, and art shining by the
light of faithfulness of the Supreme Concourse.

Blessed art thou; again, blessed art thou! Glad-tidings be unto thee;
again, glad-tidings be unto thee!

Appreciate the worth of this peerless and choice Pearl (of the Truth). By
the life of God, verily, this is the most splendid jewel which glitters on
the crown of glory, among all the people of the world.

O ye(93) two doves, flying in the verdant Gardens of the Kingdom!

Thank ye your Lord for that by reason of which He hath guided you into the
Path of Safety, led you unto the Fountain of Life, turned your faces unto
the Lord of the evident Signs, and baptized you with the Water of Life,
and the everlasting spirit of safety, in this new and glorious century.

Your pictures came to the presence of the servant of God, who is
supplicating to His Kingdom that He may cause to descend upon you the
heavenly blessings. He was rejoiced by seeing your likenesses, for his
spirit is attached to the Spirit. And from the flowers, which were
enclosed in your note, he has smelled the scent of the gardens of your
hearts, which are ornamented by the flowers of faith and assurance; and I
ask God to continue sending upon you the gifts of His merciful benevolence
at all times.
