To the attracted maid servant of God Mrs. Corinne True, Chicago, Ill.

He Is God
O thou beloved maid servant of God!

Your detailed letter was perused and from its contents it became evident that the debt on the land of the Mashriqu’l-Adhkar is clear. This news made the hearts happy and caused infinite rejoicing.

Now it is hoped that the believers of God may show magnanimity and raise a great sum for the building, so that the foundation of the Mashriqu’l-Adhkar may be laid, and, perchance, God willing, the cornerstone of the foundation may be laid by the hands of 'Abdu'l-Baha.

This confirmation will descend upon the people of America if they will all arise and endeavor with great courage to establish union and harmony, so that every trace of difference may be uprooted and they may all become as one heart and one soul.

Convey the wonderful Abha greeting to all the friends and the maid servants of the Merciful.

Upon thee be Baha’u’l-Abha!

(Signed) ‘Abdu’l-Baha Abbas
