O thou slave of the Beauty of ABHA!

Thy letter was received. Praise be to God! It
indicated thy firmness and steadfastness in the love of
God -- therefore, it was the cause of happiness.

Thou hast written regarding the meeting of his
honor Mr. ........, his respected wife and daughter.
Truly, I say, Mr. ........ is a blessed soul and
is engaged in the service of the Cause and his extreme
hope is to bring about affinity between the souls and
cause the believers to be united and agree. This is
also my highest hope. I hope, God willing, this unity
and agreement will be established and this imprisoned
one, immersed in the sea of trials, become exhilarated
and rejoiced. The aim of the appearance of the Blessed
Perfection -- may my life be a sacrifice for His beloved
ones! -- was the unity and agreement of all the people
of the world. Therefore, my utmost desire, firstly, is
the accord and union and love of the believers and
after that of all the people of the world. Now, if
unity and agreement is not established among the believers,
I will become heartbroken and the afflictions
will leave a greater imprint upon me. But if the fragrance
of love and unity among the believers is wafted
to my nostrils, every trial will become a mercy, every
unhappiness a joy, every difficulty an expansion, every
misery a treasure and every hardship a felicity.

Convey on my behalf the utmost love and kindness
to the favored maid-servant of God [thy wife], and
thy worthy and noble sons.
