20: O thou Greatest and Most Merciful Holy …
1 O thou Greatest and Most Merciful Holy Leaf!
I arrived in New York in the best of health, and I 18 have been at all times thinking of thee, and supplicating fervently at the threshold of the Blessed Beauty that He may guard thee in the stronghold of His protection. We are in the utmost fellowship and joy. I hope that thou wilt be sheltered under His bountiful care.
Write to me at once about Rúhá Khánum’s and Shoghi Effendi’s condition, informing me fully and hiding nothing; this is the best way.
Convey my utmost longing to all.
