I have prayed for the outpouring of the blessing upon those souls for whom thou hast asked supplication of the Holy Spirit (in their behalf). I hope that they may become quickened through the breeze of life wafting from the garden of immortality and be gladdened with utmost happiness and joy. But the capacity is necessary for the descent of rain, and preparation of soil is of great importance. The heavenly outpouring will develop from the pure ground roses and hyacinths. We also hope that such things will appear from them. (210:1) Convey my respectful greeting to the attracted maidservant of God ... I am always engaged in her remembrance, beseeching for her merciful gifts from the Heavenly Father. Utmost bounty is extended toward her. (210:2) Exert thyself in studying the Persian language in order that with perfect eloquence and fluency thou mayest talk, read and write. (210:3) Know thou the value of ... for she hath an illumined heart and a soul gladdened with the love of God. She hath presented herself at this Blessed Spot, hearing the utterances of Abdul-Baha with her own ears. Blessed is she, and again, blessed is she! (210:4) The letter that thou hast written in Persian was highly appreciated. I have read it from beginning to end. It contained wonderful thoughts. (210:5) Convey my longing greetings to all the friends in Washington (D. C.) . Also present my respectful greetings to the maid-servants of the Merciful. Present my respectful salutations to the maid-servant of God, the Eternal, the Protector, Mrs ... , for she is near and dear in the Threshold of Oneness. I beseech God that she may be confirmed and assisted in all stations and attain the heavenly confirmations.
(210:6)
