"O thou my dear friend!..."

1 |
O thou my dear friend!
| |
2 |
I am now viewing the flowers in the little garden
and remembering thy rose-like face. This material
rose, although it is beautiful and fragrant, yet it cannot
be compared with the beauty of the friends. Great is
the difference between this fragrance and that of the
friends, between the scent of this rose and the fragrance
of the love of God. That face of thine which attracts
the hearts is far more beautiful and better than this
rose, for with that beauty is accompanied illumination.

Thy gift is much appreciated and very acceptable. I
was made very, very happy and I prayed for thee that
thou mayest appreciate the contents and significance
of it.

Indeed thou hast served in Washington with no will
save the will of God in view and thou hast made me
happy and attained my pleasure.
| |
5 |
Hold the spiritual meeting at the stated times and
be thou its candle, giving (the friends) such happiness
and joy through the glad-tidings of God as will make
them joyful and full of ecstasy. Give them all my
loving greetings. Surely manifest the utmost love
and goodness o the Baltimore friends and organize for
them a spiritual gathering.
