Through Mirza Yutanna Dawud, London, to the maidservant of God, Margaret Döring, Stuttgart
O daughter of the Kingdom!
Your letter arrived, and its contents showed that Mr.
Gregory, by visiting the blessed Tomb, [1] hath received a new power, and
obtained a new life. When he arrived at
Stuttgart, although black of colour, yet he shone as a bright light in the
meeting of the friends. Verily, he hath greatly advanced in this journey, he
received another life and obtained another power. When he returned, Gregory was
quite another Gregory. He hath become a new creation. Reflect on the Grace of
the Kingdom of Abhá and see how it enlightened such a person. It has made him
spiritual, heavenly, divine and a manifestor of the graces of the world of
humanity. This man shall progress.
Thank God that you esteem Miss Knobloch, because she was the
cause of your guidance. With weeping and
supplication I ask from the Kingdom of Abhá, that He may vouchsafe heavenly
blessings upon your father, mother, sisters and brothers; and graciously
enlighten Frl. Schaffer, Frl. Andrassy and Frau. Kusterer with the Light of
Guidance.
Convey my greetings to Herr Kruttner, and Herr Richard
Bauerle. I supplicate to the Divine Glory, and ask for them bright hearts,
merciful spirits, seeing eyes and hearing ears.
I ask God to make you a firm rooted, verdant and fruitful
tree in the Paradise of Abhá.
Upon thee be the Glory of the Most Glorious!
