O thou kind friend!

Thy letter was received and its contents considered.
Man must, under all conditions, be thankful to God,
the One, for it is said in the blessed text: "If ye be
thankful I will increase thee."

Man must seek shelter in the mercy and protection
of God, for he is constantly subject to a hundred thousand
dangers. Save for the refuge and protection of
the Most High, man is without shelter.

I ask God to help thy children to gain knowledge, to
attain virtues and morals which are the refinements of
the reality of man, and to strengthen thee to remain
firm.

Convey my respect and greeting to Mr.........
and Mrs. ......... I trust in the providence of
God that thou mayest ascertain what is worthy and
fitting for Bahais, and that day by day the love of God
may increase in the hearts.
