Allah ‘U’ Abha!

My dear, dear Bahai sister and all friends in Assembly of Los Angeles:

I write on receiving your beautiful letter acknowledging the receipt of draft on Imperial Bank of Persia and now I am sending you an account concerning your Jenabi Fazel appointee which will touch all your hearts. Your boy is Mirza Yadullah (remembrance of God) [page 2, left side of image 107] who should receive the Jenabi Fazel scholarship. He is thirteen years old and has been entered in third class; his face tells you that he will make good.

I have just received his first monthly report and his averages are good. He entered school the first of Moharram - September 1st - and we date your payment thus. The principal has asked me to give full tuition as required in third class and the school will supply books, paper, pens, pencils etc. [illegible]. This [page 3, left side of image 108] son of the recent martyr Hadji Arab whose photo you see in the picture holding the body & head of his baby nephew. He was the uncle of Aly Akbar whose whole family were so foully murdered in Qom March 1916. You have had full account before. Last year the enemies of the Lanse falsely accused Hadji Arab of burning the Koran and he was also martyred and received a glorious station in the Kingdom. [page 4, right side of image 108] You may have seen some of his wonderful tablets and heard the praise of his Lord.

Hadji Arab’s wife and son, Yadullah were left entirely destitute. They came to Teheran some months ago in the family of Mirza Esagh Khan Hagigi Kermanshahi well known for his large heart, surname = “Reality”. In looking for your boy I found that Yadullah was most certainly the worthy and the only one [to scribbled out] [page 5, left side of image 109] I have [illegible] to and have paid in the tuition for six months - namely eleven tomans and still hold thirteen tomans which will carry him through the full year and leave a balance to your credit of two tomans.

I trust the Assembly will assume this scholarship until he graduates.

By the command of the Beloved Jenabi Fazel is in Constantinople. When he reaches Persia I shall give him a photo of his protege. I ordered [page 6, right side of image 110] three - one for you, one for Fazel and one for my file. Kindly express the pleasure of all the Bahai friends of Tehran in accepting this scholarship from you and know that you are educating one of His sons.

I am greatly thankful to you also for subscripting to the Kappes Memorial Fund and hope when the draft comes that you will send a complete list of names so that [page 7, left side of image 110] each friend will have a Memorial receipt. My heart has been made very warm by the generous responses to this call and to date we have received 4000. tomans hoping to have at least fifteen thousand and make a lasting monument to our dear Lillian Kappes memory. We went out to her grave at Wargba’s [sp?] tomb recently & covered it with Chrysanthemums cut in Dr. Clocks garden.

Love & greeting to all - yours in the service of Abdul Baha. Susan I. Moody.
