O thou spiritual friend!

Verily, I was informed of the contents of thy letter
and increased gratitude unto God, for that He hath
granted the friends clear consciences, pure and holy
hearts, attraction unto the Kingdom of God, enkindlement
by the fire of the love and humbleness to God.

Glad-tidings unto ye for this abundant blessing, sufficient
bounties, wide mercy, glorious appearances;
therefore, be united in hearts and spirits, strive so that
ye may obtain the great favors, attain to the overflowing
chalice, perform charity (good deeds), gain the
spirit of life, attracted by the fragrance and depend on
the Lord of Signs. At that time your faces will be
illumined, your souls holy, your hearts severed from
this world and attached to the Supreme Concourse,
and you will call out with the most loud voice: Glad-tidings
unto us through these divine favors and blessed
are we by this heavenly guidance!~

I was glad in heart when I saw thy likeness in the
photograph and looked at the resemblance like the
reality of thy identity and thanked God witnessing the
light of God in thy beautiful face.
