Keith Ransom-Kehler travelled to Persia at the request of the Guardian where she served for sixteen months before she fell ill. She entered from the Western frontier and started by visiting the friends of Kirmansháh, Hamadán and Qazvín. After staying some time in Iṣfahán and recovering from sickness she travelled to Adhirbáyján. She then made another journey through the East and North, and the friends of Khurásán and Mázindarán and Gilán had the bounty of her presence. After spending time in Tehran where she made seven attempts to sent petitions to the Shah requesting that he lift the ban on Bahá'í literature and the restriction on holding Bahá'í meetings, she travelled to the village of Hasan-Ábád near Qom, then to Qom, Kashán, the village of Árán, the town of Jaushiqán and back to Kashán. She departed on the 5th of October for Isfahán and arrived the next day and continued with the program arranged for her. She fell it with chills and high fever and was confined to bed on the 10th of October. She was constantly attended by Najmiyyih Khánum ’Alá’í, the graduate nurse who had been her Ṭihrán hostess. In accordance with the Guardian’s instructions, this lady and her husband, Raḥmatu’lláh Khán ’Alá’í, had placed themselves entirely at Keith's disposition during her sojourn in this country. She passed away on the 23rd of October 1933 and was diagnosed as having smallpox with a complication of dysentery.
