O Leaf of Paradise! Loose your tongue at all times in gratitude for the blessings of the Beloved of the Worlds, for you are
always mentioned in His Glorious and Sanctified
Presence, and you are ever in the hearts of His
maidservants. The pen is unable to describe the
depths of our longing, nor can the tongue recount
the love concealed within our hearts. Should you
look into the mirror of your own heart, which is free
from the defilements of this world of dust, you
would clearly see the truth of what has been set
forth.

From the time of your departure no day passes
without mention being made of your name. Please
God you may in your days and nights hold fast to the
sure handle of detachment, and be occupied in the
remembrance of God, the Wondrous, the All-Glorious.

There is no blessing greater than attainment unto
His Holy Presence. Thank God you attained this
bounty.

May the spiritually-minded son, Mírzá
Badí'u'lláh, God willing, be always safe in the
stronghold of God's care and protection.
