Official translation
Thy sealed letter hath reached the presence of this Wronged One, and from it We have inhaled the sweet savour of thy devotion to God
Abstract:
Briefly addresses the head of the German Templers of Haifa, calling him to consider with insight the ascendancy and sweetness of the word of God, the mysterious processes by which the abased become exalted and the exalted abased, and the lessons of the past; employs the science of letters and their numerical equivalents in explaining the significance of certain names; and affirms that He and the recipient are moved by the same divine spirit.
