O friends and maidservants of the Merciful!
Thanks be to God! that you have been gathered together and
celebrated the birthday of the Báb with much joy and amity and were engaged in
remembering God.
From the rose-garden of that meeting a beautiful fragrance
has reached to the nostrils of these friends; and the light of God's love hath
shone; therefore, it was a cause of delighting the hearts of these friends. I
ask God, by His infinite mercy, that such meetings may be held often.
Likewise, that the entertainment every nineteen days may
become current among you; so that the friends and maidservants of the Merciful
may be engaged in praising and remembering God and singing to Him, and may
become the cause of guiding the people.
Upon you all be the Glory of the Most Glorious!
