O thou who art firm in the Covenant, thy letter
was received. Thou hast exerted a great effort for that
prisoner, perchance it may prove to be fruitful. Tell him,
however: `The denizens of the world are confined in the
prison of nature--a prison that is continuous and eternal. If
thou art at present restrained within the limits of a temporary
prison, be not grieved at this; my hope is that thou
mayest be emancipated from the prison of nature and may
attain unto the court of everlasting life. Pray to God day
and night and beg forgiveness and pardon. The omnipotence
of God shall solve every difficulty.'
