17: O my dear sister! Your excellent letter ...

1 |
O my dear sister! Your excellent letter brought me much joy, testifying as it did to your
ardour and pure intent, and to your being immersed
in the ocean of God's heavenly love, and also to the
harmony and concord among His handmaids
--which indeed is the greatest of God's bestowals:
for fellowship, closeness and love are glories of the
Kingdom, and richest gifts from the Lord of dominion
and might. We thank Him then for this great
bounty.

To the honoured handmaid of God, Miss Barney,
give my many and fond wishes. I implore God to
assist her and yourself to attain the greatest of all His
favours in His mighty Kingdom.

I conveyed the salutations from all of you, and
your expressions of devoted servitude, to Him
Whom God hath purposed, the Centre of His
ancient Covenant.

From this imprisoned handmaid.
