Through his honor
Mirza Ali Akbar Rafsanjani to his honor Mr. Daniel Jenkyn.
Upon him be
Baha’u’l-Abha!
O thou who art
confirmed by the Divine Spirit!
A thousand times bravo because thou didst forego the
physical comfort and rest in order to proclaim the glad tidings of the heavenly
illumination. Thou didst gird up the loins of service and traveled to Holland
to diffuse the Fragrances of God. Shouldst thou realize how blessed is this
trip, unquestionably thou wouldst not rest for one moment, and uninterruptedly
thou wouldst engage in the promotion of the Cause of the Almighty. Thou didst
well to hasten from London to Holland.
With his heart and spirit ‘Abdu'l-Baha was thy guide and
companion. Although in body he was far, yet in spirit he was near. I hope from
the bestowals of the Lord of Hosts, His Holiness the Promised One, that this
voyage may assume the importance of the voyage of Peter and Paul when the
latter went to Antioch. Consider what important results that voyage had. Now
the results of thy journey will be greater than that. Know thou this of a
certainty
Upon thee be Baha’u’l-Abha!
(Signed) ‘Abdu’l-Baha Abbas
