He is God!
O thou servant of God!
Thy letter was received. Praise be to God, that the call of
the Kingdom of Abhá reached Pittsburgh. Should the friends of God show firmness
and steadfastness, the ray of the light of the Kingdom of Abhá will shine and
that state and city will become illuminated.
Endeavour thou that thou mayest study the Persian language
thoroughly, so that thou mayest read the Tablets of Bahá'u'lláh and comprehend
their meanings.
In reality, if someone should go to the Netherlands and
engage in teaching the Truth great results would follow. Although such a person
cannot he found for the present, yet before long he shall be discovered.
I supplicate and entreat at the Kingdom of Abhá and ask heavenly
confirmation for thee. Perchance, God willing, at some future date we may meet
each other.
Upon thee be the Glory of God!
