Birth of May (or Mary) Ellis Bolles, prominent American Bahá'í teacher, in Englewood, New Jersey. [BFA1p141]
At the age of 11 she had a dream in which she experienced a flash of light so bright that blinded her for a day.[BFA1p141]

In another dream she saw a vision of a man clothed in Eastern garb who beckoned her from across the Mediterranean. [BFA1p141] |
