1. 1908-00-00 — Stanwood Cobb was in Egypt try to recover from a difficult time at Robert College in Istanbul where he had been teaching English and Latin when he unexpectedly ran into Lua Getsinger on the steps of the Shepard Hotel in Cairo. She was on her way to Akka for a pilgrimage and she invited him to go with her. He was in a quandary. He had arrangements for a trip up the Nile with a friend and he didn't have permission for a pilgrimage. She convinced to take the three-day pilgrimage by telling him that she had standing permission to take anyone to see 'Abdu'l-Bahá with her. He had learned of the Faith from Mary Lucas in Green Acre in 1906.

   At this time Stanwood was dealing with a seemingly intractable problem at Robert College and he had been slowly recovering from a depression. He reported that 'Abdu'l-Bahá came into his room one morning without a translator; He sat beside him and took one of his hands in both of His and held it for a moment. Prior to this 'Abdu'l-Bahá had not inquire about his heath nor had he given any indication of his condition. He reported that from that moment he found himself permanently relieved of his depressive moods. [Memories of 'Abdu'l-Bahá p1-6 by Stanwood Cobb]
