Although thy visit to Acca in the year 1899 was
short, yet it was the breath of life. Later on its traces
will become manifest.

I hope that the divine mysteries may become revealed
to thee at all time. Become thou engaged in
teaching the truth, for the teaching of the Cause containeth
the power of a magnet; it attracteth the mysteries
of God.

Regarding my freedom: To me prison is freedom;
to me incarceration is an open court; to me humility is
identical with glory; to me adversity is a gift and death
is life. I hope that thou wilt also take a portion from
this sea and seek a reflection from these lights, becoming
and ignited lamp so that the winds of contradiction
will not blow it out, and day by day more revelation
and vision may descend, and thou be enkindled more
than before with the fire of the love of God.

Convey respectful greeting to the maid-servants of
the Merciful One. I supplicate God that they may
add to their faith and assurance every moment.
