O ye Cohorts of God! A letter which was signed by you in general was received... Today in the world of existence, each community is wandering in a wilderness... Be ye kind to the human world and be ye compassionate to the race of man... O Thou Provider! Thou hast breathed over the friends in the West... Well is it with you, as you have followed the Law of God and arisen to observe the Fast during these blessed days
