When in Bahá'í history
‘Abdu’l-Bahá's first morning in Washington was filled with many interviews, but he spent a Half-hour with Agnes Parsons' young Son, Jeffrey. They looked at Jeffrey's toys, books and pictures, then went to the roof to see the view. Mrs. Parsons noted that ‘Abdu’l-Bahá never required an interpreter when with a child.
