Tablet from 'Abdu'l-Bahá through Mirza Ahmad Sohrab, to to the members of the Spiritual Assembly and the maid-servants of the Assembly of Teaching.
| Upon them be BAHA'O'LLAH-EL-ABHA!!
HE IS GOD!
O ye friends and the maid-servants of the Merciful!
If it is your intention to have the general Convention in Chicago on the day of Naurooz, so that delegates might be sent there from everywhere to deliberate and discuss matters pertaining to the Mashrak-el-Azkar, to proclaim the oneness of the kingdom of humanity, to explain the Divine Teachings and to elucidate and expound the Exhortations of the Blessed Perfection,--It is better to open this Convention during the Feast of Rizwan; for the Feast of Rizwan is greater and more important and the temperature at that time is mild and balmy. Therefore, proclaim ye to all parts that all the delegates and friends gather in Chicago during that blessed day.
- Upon ye be Baha-el-ABHA
- (Signed) ABDU'L-BAHA ABBAS
