Send my greeting to Miss ........ . I hope she may be wholly attracted to
the Kingdom of God.

As to the book that thou intendest to write: When thou hast written it (or
if you write it), send it to the Holy Land (i.e., Acca) to be seen (or
examined) so that thou mayest publish it afterward.

"O thou dear maid-servant of God!..."

O thou dear maid-servant of God!

Thy letter was received. Thy faith and certainty became evident. Happy is
thy condition, that in such a day thou hast opened thine eyes and beheld
the light of the Sun of Reality.

Convey reverential greetings to the believing maid-servant of God ........
and say: "Be not grieved and bear the ordeal from thy husband. The meeting
of the beloved of God and the maid-servants of the Merciful take the place
of his ignorance. I hope that they may be the cause of joy and happiness
to thee."

"O thou who art advancing to the Kingdom of God!..."

O thou who art advancing to the Kingdom of God!

What thou hast written became evident and what thou hast heard from Mirza
........ regarding the necessity of many teachers in America, is true. I
have said so. Indeed, there is need of a thousand teachers, each one
severed from the world, attracted by the Holy Spirit in the Supreme
Concourse and joyful through the Kingdom of God and in perfect sanctity,
holiness and sufficiency.

This matter of teachers requires the greatest condition; that is, they
should never stain themselves with the world, they should not look for the
least pecuniary reward from any soul; nay, rather they should bear the
utmost poverty and with the perfect wealth of nature(156), through the
bounty of God, may they associate with the people. They should seek no
reward nor recompense. Freely have they received, freely should they give.
His Holiness Christ sayeth: "When ye leave the city, clean off from your
shoes the dust thereof." The holiness of the teachers must reach this
degree. Thus may they utter with eloquence, while in ecstasy and great
joy, and guide the people to the manifest light.

If this be the endeavor, strive with life and heart and guide the people
to he Kingdom of God, lead them to the straight pathway, inform them of
the greatness and magnitude of this Cause and give them the glad-tidings
through the bounty of divine providence and the revelation of the Sun of
Truth in this great age.

Convey my greeting to the advancing maid-servant of God [thy wife], and
