u maid-servant of God! Praise be to God that thou has become famous
throughout the regions as a Bahai. This favor is worthy of the utmost
thanks and praise.

O thou maid-servant of God! Whenever thou art intending to deliver a
speech, turn thy face toward the Kingdom of Abha and, with a heart
detached, begin to talk. The breaths of the Holy Spirit will assist thee.

Assist thou Dr. ........ and help her all the time. Perchance, God

O thou who art advancing unto the Kingdom of God!

Verily, I read thy letter which was sent to us, and I noted its contents,
wherein thou prayest for confirmation to serve thy Lord. I pray God to
bless thee and aid thee to receive His trusts, so that thou mayest receive
the greatest favor in the world of humanity.

O maid-servant of God! Forget all else save God, be in communion with Him,
supplicate and pray to Him to make thee conqueror over the material
things, impressed by the bounties of the Kingdom, commemorating the name
of thy Lord, pure from all else save Him, and imbued with the spiritual
attributes of those who are holy (and high); then shall thy breaths have
effect upon the hearts, and attract the hearts of thy son and husband unto
the Kingdom of God.

I pray god to confirm thee in this, to make firm thy heart in faith, and
give thee a spiritual power, effective in hearts and spirits.

Verily, I read thy letter, which speaks of the throbbing of thy heart by
the thoughts of the love of God and indicates the unity of the
maid-servants of the Merciful, their harmony in the word of God, and their
attraction by the fragrances of God, for they are the waves of one sea,
the leaves of one tree, and the flowers of one garden. By these tidings
the heart of Abdul-Baha was made happy and he attained thereby fragrance
and spirituality.

For the Greatest Name and the Ancient Beauty(111)--may my soul be a
sacrifice to His beloved--endured all difficulty and ordeals for the
purpose of uniting the hearts of the beloved of God; that they might be
