Convey on behalf of 'Abdu'l-Baha to thy respected wife my Abha greetings,
and say: 'Kindness, training and education extended to prisoners is
exceedingly important. Therefore as thou hast exerted an effort in this,
hast awakened some of them, and hast been the cause of the turning of
their faces to the divine Kingdom, this praiseworthy deed is highly
acceptable. Assuredly persevere. Convey on my behalf to the two prisoners
in San Quentin the utmost kindness, and tell them: 'That prison in the
sight of wise souls is a school of training and development. Ye must
strive with heart and soul that ye may become renowned in character and
knowledge.'
