'ABDU'L-BAHA'S TABLET TO DR. FOREL(1)
[Pages 6-10]
O revered personage, lover of truth! Thy letter dated 28 July 1921(2) hath been received. The contents thereof were most pleasing and indicated that, praised be the Lord, thou art as yet young, and searchest after truth, that thy power of thought is strong and the discoveries of thy mind manifest.
Numerous copies of the epistle I had written to Dr. F. are spread far and wide and every one knoweth that it hath been revealed in the year 1910. Apart from this, numerous epistles have been written before the war upon the same theme, and reference, too, hath been made to these questions in the Journal of the San Francisco University, the date whereof is known beyond any doubt.(3) In like manner have the philosophers of broad vision praised highly the discourse eloquently delivered in the above-named University.(4) A copy of that paper is thus enclosed and forwarded. Thy works are no doubt of great benefit, and if published, send us a copy of each.
