Tablets of `Abdu'l-Bahá `Abbás

"O thou who art attracted to the Kingdom of God!..."
| |
1 |
O thou who art attracted to the Kingdom of God!
| |
2 |
The letter written by you *** was received. Its
contents became evident. The expressions (of thy
letter) evinced utmost attraction and caused joy and
fragrance.

3 |
Thou hast asked for permission to come to our presence
with his honor ......... I am also longing
greatly after the meeting of the friends. If there was
no obstacle, it would be very acceptable, but in these
days, thy presence (in this land
[1]
) is not according to
wisdom. Besides this, thou must be engaged in the
service of the Kingdom in those parts. Also, the presence
of his honor
[2]
........ is of utmost necessity in
those parts, for we henceforth forward all the Tablets
to him for translation, that he may send to the believers.
If he should move, this work would be neglected.
Therefore now thou must wait until some happy occasion
will bring this about later on.

4 |
Also, thou hast written concerning the meeting with
the minister of Persia. This is very acceptable. The
believers of God must render utmost consideration toward
Persian ministers and officials.
| |
5 |
Also convey respectful greetings from Abdul-Baha
to all the friends of God.
