to partake thereof."

Convey greetings and respect from Abdul-Baha to the esteemed maid-servant
of God, ........, and say: "Thou art always in our midst and art not
forgotten, even for a moment. I beg the Beauty of Abha for confirmation in
thy behalf. It is some time since, by the dust of calamities and
occupation of mind, the correspondence hath been delayed; but there is no
harm in that. For my heart is engaged in prayer and I beg for confirmation
in thy behalf."

Convey on my behalf, greetings and respect to the invoking maid-servant of

City and entered the Kingdom of Abha!"

As to chanting supplications in the Oriental tune, this is very agreeable.
His honor ........ must exert his endeavors in this matter.

In reality the friends of God are always present in my society and are

Arise thou, in unison with his honor [thy husband], to serve with the
