The letter was received and its contents became evident.
Thou hast written regarding the days of summer,
that thou hast vacation for three months and a half.
474
Shouldst though find any companions, make thou a
trip to Persia, for during three months and a half it is
possible to reach Teheran, stay there a few days and
then return; but the time is not sufficient to come to
the Holy Land. If the trip to Persia cannot be brought
about, then to Ishkabad

Regarding the remains of his honor the beloved
Breakwell—him who hath attained to the meeting of
the countenance of his Lord in His great Kingdom—must be interred in that very land, not in some other
place, for to transfer the remains of the believers from
one city to another city is against the test of the Book.

Convey my respectful greeting to Mrs. ….…. and
say: “We hope that day by day thou mayest take higher
flights, attain to greater spiritual attraction, thy word
become more penetrative through the power of the
Spirit and through the confirmations of the Kingdom of
Abha become more illumined. This is the path of
salvation and prosperity. This is the attractive power
of the Holy Spirit from the Supreme Concourse.”
