If this be the endeavor, strive with life and heart and guide the people to the Kingdom of God, lead them to the straight pathway, inform them of the greatness and magnitude of this Cause and give them the glad-tidings through the bounty of divine providence and the revelation of the Sun of Truth in this great age. (360:1) Convey my greeting to the advancing maid-servant of God [thy wife], and say to her: maid-servant of God! Seek whilst thou canst the life eternal and wish for everlasting glory in the divine world." (360:2) Embrace twice thy children, and give my greeting to the maid-servant of God, thy mother. (360:3) Thy name is Joseph. Let thy title be Bahai. (360:4) Thy letter, through his honor Mirza ... was received and thy former letters also became acceptable and through the contents of those writings utmost joy and fragrance was produced, for they all evinced faith, assurance and firmness in the Covenant.
(360:5)
