* سبحان اللّه امروز روزيست که عقلاء از اين مظلوم اخذ رای نمايند و از حقّ بطلبند انچه را که سبب عزّت و اسايش است * و لکن کلّ بر عکس بر اطفاء اين نور ساطع لميع جاهد و ساعی و هر نفسی در صدد ان است که تقصيری ثابت نمايد و يا ايرادی وارد اورد * امر بمقامی رسيده که از جميع اطوار اين مظلوم اظهار نموده‌اند انچه را که ذکر ان شايسته نيست * يکی از دوستان از نفسی از نفوس مجتمعه در مدينه کبيره ذکر نموده که گفته در هر سنه مبلغ پنجاه هزار تومان از وطن بعکّا ميرود و بکمال افسوس اين فقره را ذکر نمود معلوم نشد محاسب که بوده و دفتر دار که *
Shoghi Effendi Translation
Gracious God! This is the day whereon the wise should seek the advice of this Wronged One, and ask Him Who is the Truth what things are conducive to the glory and tranquillity of men. And yet, all are earnestly striving to put out this glorious and shining light, and are diligently seeking either to establish Our guilt, or to voice their protest against Us. Matters have come to such a pass, that the conduct of this Wronged One hath, in every way, been grossly misrepresented, and in a manner which it would be unseemly to mention. One of Our friends hath reported that among the residents of the Great City (Constantinople) he had heard with the greatest regret someone state that, each year, a sum of fifty thousand túmáns was being despatched from his native land to ‘Akká! It hath not, however, been made clear who had disbursed the sum, nor through whose hands it had passed!
