Continually my ear and eye are turned toward the Central
States [of America]; perchance a melody from some blessed souls may reach my
ears—souls who are the dawning-places of the love of God, the stars of the
horizon of sanctification and holiness—souls who will illumine this dark
universe and quicken to life this dead world. The joy of ‘Abdu’l-Bahá depends
upon this! I hope that you may become confirmed therein.
