s. You may be sure that he remembers you all in his prayers, and also the body of the faithful believers you serve to such good purpose. He would like you to please thank, on his behalf, the friends who so devotedly contribute to the construction of the Holy Shrine.... P.S. As regards Baha'i divorce as mentioned in your letters of June 12th: Baha'is (whether one party or both are believers) should follow the Baha'i law of divorce, i.e. one year of waiting, and not neglect this divinely given law.
