O thou dear friend! Thou hast said the truth! Last year1 was the time of test for all the friends. Trials for the faithful believers are like unto divine bestowal and everlasting gifts. (277:1) The firmness and steadfastness of the person will become evident and manifest. How could the disciples of His Holiness (Christ) attain to any spiritual development if they did not undergo trials and tests! (277:2) O friend! Although we are weak, yet the confirmations of the Merciful Lord are inexhaustible. Pray thou that the ill-natured become good-natured and the weak become strong. (277:3) The dream thou hast seen is in accord with thy interpretation. I hope that Mr ... may become the light of the Merciful One and be confirmed and assisted to spread the Cause of God. (277:4) To this Thy servant give the understanding of the Old Testament and the New and enable her to speak forth with mighty voice and to sing with power the holy songs and to discover the real meaning and the secret mysteries of those verses, for Thou art the Powerful Inspirer and the Mighty One!
(277:5)
