Thy letter was received. It was brief and expressive of meaning. I ask from God that thy name be registered in the Tablet of the Kingdom; [that thou] be assisted by the merciful confirmation; become characterized with divine characteristics, and that thou mayest become a tree with the utmost freshness and delicacy in the orchard of God. (590:1) Thou hast presented thy life. I have also accepted it, in order that thou mayest sacrifice thyself in the path of God and attain to the ultimate desire of the spiritual ones. Thou art a fresh plant in this divine orchard. I hope that thou mayest become fruitful, and become the cause of the adornment of this rose-garden. (590:2) Thy letter was received. Thou hast written regarding the visit of the beloved maid-servant of God, the attracted one to the fragrance of holiness, Mrs. ... , to California, which hath been the cause of affinity among the friends and the guidance of others. Mrs ... is the favored maid-servant of the Blessed Perfection. In reality she is the daughter of the Kingdom and is an informed speaker. Have ye the utmost consideration toward her and show her exceeding respect.
(590:3)
