Tablets of `Abdu'l-Bahá `Abbás
Page 211
 

"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.
