O ye two faithful and assured souls! The letter was received. Praise be to
God, it imparted good tidings. California is ready for the promulgation of
the Teachings of God. My hope is that ye may strive with heart and soul
that the sweet scent may perfume the nostrils....
Convey on my behalf to Mrs. Chase respectful greetings and say: 'Mr. Chase
is a twinkling star above the horizon of Truth, but at present it is still
behind the clouds; soon these shall be dispersed and the radiance of that
star shall illumine the state of California. Appreciate thou this bounty
that thou hast been his wife and companion in life.'
Every year on the anniversary of the ascension(55) of that blessed soul
the friends must visit his tomb on behalf of 'Abdu'l-Baha and in the
utmost lowliness and humility should with all respect lay on his grave
wreaths of flowers and spend all the day in quiet prayer, while turning
their faces toward the Kingdom of Signs and mentioning and praising the
attributes of that illustrious person.
