'Abdu'l-Bahá's ministry (1892–1921) · 1 min

One California Bahá’í, Georgiana Dean, had moved from the West Coast at the request of ‘Abdu’l-Bahá to care for Mrs. Dealy, who was going blind. Miss Dean had abandoned a good job and a love for California to fulfill the Master's request. When Miss Dean met the other California Bahá’ís, she was overwhelmed by homesickness. Harriet Cline suggested she take the problem to ‘Abdu’l-Bahá, which she did.

Within a few days Mrs. Dealy no longer needed her and she was able to return to California.
