O Thou Whose Nostrils Are Perfumed with the Fragrances of God!
“The lights of guidance shall surely be spread, even as the morning light spreads over all the regions of the earth; all the regions of the earth shall be refreshed by the Word of God.”
O thou whose nostrils are perfumed with the Fragrances
of God!

Verily, I read thy letter which contained graceful
expressions and was of a well made foundation, and I inhaled the odor
of the love of God from the garden of its meanings and witness the
lights of sincerity in the Cause of God from the dawning-place of its
mysteries.

Blessed art thou, O maid-servant of God, for thou art
attracted to the Word of god, and thy heart is illuminated with the
lights of the guidance of God, and thy soul is cheered by the gentle
breeze blowing from the direction of the favor of God.

Verily thy Lord is gracious toward thee. Thank thou God
for this great bounty and praise Him for He hath caused thee to enter
His New Kingdom; and glorify Him for He hath chosen thee from among
those men and women “who were called”.

Preach the Kingdom of God to every man and maid-servant
who is waiting the appearance of His Glorious Kingdom. The lights of
guidance shall surely be spread, even as the morning light spreads
over all the regions of the earth; all the regions of the earth shall
be refreshed by the Word of God.

Deliver my longings and greetings to the consolation of
thine eye, ......, and to thy younger son, ....... Verily I love them both
even as a compassionate father loveth his dear children. As to thee,
have for them an abundant love and exert thine utmost in training
them, so that their being may grow through the milk of the love of
God, forasmuch as it is the duty of parents to perfectly and
thoroughly train their children.

There are also certain sacred duties on children toward
parents, which duties are written in the Book of God, as belonging to
God. The (children’s) prosperity in this world and the Kingdom
depends upon the good pleasure of parents, and without this they will
be in manifest loss.
