My dear brothers and sisters in Chicago - Greetings! -
Once more, through the Mercy and Grace of God, my dear husband and myself have reached this blessed land, have been permitted to knell at the Holy feet of our revered Lord and Master, the beloved son of God, His greatest Branch and Mystery and our eyes have once more rested and feasted upon the Glory of his Face.
From this blessed Land, surrounded by the Sunshine of His presence – do we send you our loving greetings and in our hearts we humbly beg God to bless each and everyone of you, and facilitate the way that you may all come and see Him for yourselves. It is impossible to describe His Greatness, His Goodness or His loving-kindness to all the children of men — be may Christian or Muḥammadan, Jew or Gentile – His heart is large enough for all and the Cup of His Love is ever running over. Oh my dear brothers and sisters, listen to His words and be comforted. The same Holy spirit that spoke in Jesus Christ 1900 years ago, to-day speak in Him and through Him depth all Good works, everyday if His life is a pure holy and sanctified example for all the children of earth. To walk in His Footsteps is not difficult if we can but succeed in cutting our hearts from the world and turning our face fully to God. Therefore, let not your hearts be troubled over anything – the most important thing is to pray without ceasing and look not to the mistakes and faults of those around you, but each one must look to himself, and purify his own heart that it may be a fit dwelling place for the Holy Spirit.

But, thank God, everything will be made clear, for the Truth is like light of the sun, nothing can hide it. Mrs. Kheiralla and Mírzá Asad’u’lláh are, I hope, by this time in New York and they are well-prepared to give your hungry souls rich and delicious food. This teacher is
