He was deeply touched by the strong attachment of the friends
to one who, besides being the beloved daughter of Bahá’u’lláh,
exemplified perhaps more than any one the true spirit that
animates His Teachings. His (the Guardian’s) sincere hope is that
your love for our departed Greatest Holy Leaf will attain such
depth and intensity as to enable you to follow in her footsteps
and to carry out with increasing devotion and vigour all that she
cherished so much during the entire course of her earthly life.
The memory of her saintly life will undoubtedly sustain and
feed your energies and will provide you with that spiritual
potency of which we are all in such a great need.
