Convey on behalf of `Abdu'l-Bahá to thy respected
wife my Abhá greetings, and say: `Kindness, training and
education extended to prisoners is exceedingly important.
Therefore as thou hast exerted an effort in this, hast
awakened some of them, and hast been the cause of the
turning of their faces to the divine Kingdom, this praiseworthy
deed is highly acceptable. Assuredly persevere.
Convey on my behalf to the two prisoners in San Quentin
the utmost kindness, and tell them: `That prison in the sight
of wise souls is a school of training and development. Ye
must strive with heart and soul that ye may become
renowned in character and knowledge.'
Selections from the Writings of `Abdu'l-Bahá
