Provisional Translation
This tablet was sent from ‘Abdu’l-Bahá’ to Shaykh Muhammad Husayn Ahdieh before the third upheaval.
It is in ‘Abdu’l-Bahá’s own handwriting.
- O thou, the new tree in the Divine Garden!
- The true feelings of heart and soul
- cannot be explained by what I write,
- as it is beyond the world of limitation of place,
- so, it is better to be brief:
- Know thou, that as you are the only son
- of that illumined and erudite scholar,
- the expectant eyes of many, including mine,
- await and look forward to your becoming
- the inimitable and fruitful tree of that stream,
- possessing the merits of both virtue and nobility.
