O thou maid-servant of God!

Thy letter was received and the contents indicated
that - praise be to God! - thy heart is ablaze with the
fire of the love of God and thine eyes are illumined with
the light of the guidance of God, that thy face is cheerfully
beaming and thy countenance is shining and
gleaming.

Say unto thine honored helpmate, thy dear husband:
"Thousands of souls, including the great divines and
Pharisees among the Jews, were awaiting the Manifestation
of Christ, lamenting and weeping and supplicating
that the Messiah should soon appear. But when His
Holiness Christ came with a beautiful face and sweet
utterance and dawned from the day-spring of the contingent
world like unto the shining sun, all those souls
who awaited Him rejected Him, became afflicted with
the sleep of heedlessness, did not wake up by the voice
of Christ nor did they gain consciousness. Now
again the same is the case in the Manifestation of
Baha'o'llah."

I beg of God that thy dear husband be guided through
the light of guidance and become a sign of the gift
of the Kingdom of Abha.
