O ye dear friends of mine! The assemblies of those regions must be connected with one another and must communicate (correspond) with each other. Even communicate with the assemblies of the East, so that this may become the means of the great unity and concord. (25:1) O ye spiritual friends! Firmness (constancy) must , reach a degree that if all the souls (Bahais) be destroyed by the evil wishers and there remain but one, that one singly and alone should be capable of withstanding all who live on earth, and of spreading the ; fragrances of holiness. (25:2) Therefore, when any terrible news or calamitous tidings reach you from the land of desire (Acca), ye ; should not grow cold, sad, or be affected thereby. Nay, rather, ye must immediately in the utmost firmness, arise for the service of the Kingdom. (25:3) This servant of the Threshold of His Majesty the eternal God, hath always been and is in danger; there j hath never been a hope for rest. The utmost of his hopes is that in the arena of martyrdom the cup of grace become replete and the wine of great bounty lend the wondrous ecstasy. This is the utmost of my hopes and desires. (25:4) The Tablets of Ishraghat, Tarazat, Bisharat, Tajalliat and Kalimat according to what is heard have been translated and printed in those regions. Hasten to become imbued with the qualifications and attributes set forth therein.
(25:5)
