Prefaced by the following: "This morning the Beloved called me into his room. He had in his hands my Persian diary, and with his own hands writing a word here, a phrase there or crossing a sentence. Now and then he laughed at some of my expressions. For more than one hour he continued reading and correcting and then he gave them to me to be mailed with a sigh of relief... When I came out of His room I loathed to part from them and had I had time I would have copied them and kept the originals."
