O thou who art attracted by the Breaths of God! -- may
God confirm thee!

Verily I read thy letter, which contained expressions
like as of "the pure sealed wine," showing what throbs
of the thoughts of the love of God in the mind of that
righteous one (thyself) and that which shines of the
lights of the knowledge of God in the heart of that
beloved one.

I beseech God to ordain thee as a sign of His great
signs, to confirm thee to shine as a light in the lantern
of America; to cause thee to be stripped and cut from
all positions, to announce the good tidings of God, to
diffuse the breaths of God, to speak the praise of God
and to turn thy face to the Kingdom of ABHA, to be
freed from depending on this world, to be kindled by
the fire of the love of God, to be adorned with the
ornament of perfection; to be the center of those virtues
and characteristics wherewith the inner qualities of
man are ornamented, to be confirmed by the breaths of
the Holy Ghost, to call on the name of God.

O my beloved one! It is incumbent upon thee to
be firm in the Covenant and to stand up and serve the
religion of God. Verily, this is the magnet of confirmation
and assistance, the attracter of all success and
the leader of hosts of gifts.
| |
5 |
May God protect thee from all accidents! May the
Glory of ABHA be upon thee!
| |
6 |
Convey my greetings to the spiritual leaf, the servant
of God, thy honored wife, the esteemed ........,
and say unto her: Serve in the olive garden of God,
that God may help thee by those confirmations by which
intellects are astounded and the perceptions are cleared.~
