To my honored and distinguished sister do thou convey the
expression of my heartfelt, my intense longing. Day and night she liveth in my
remembrance. I dare make no mention of the feelings which separation from her
has aroused in my heart, for whatever I should attempt to express in writing
will assuredly be effaced by the tears which such sentiments must bring to my
eyes.
(‘Abdu’l-Baha, from a Tablet addressed by ‘Abdu’l-Baha to Munirih Khanum,
quoted by Shoghi Effendi in a letter dated July 17, 1932; ‘Baha’i Administration’)
