distinction. (She) forged first link in (the) chain uniting (the) spiritual
destinies (of the) cradle of our Faith (i.e., Persia) and (the) community (of
its) stalwart defenders in (the) great American Republic. (I am) instructing
Persia rear monument perpetuating memory (of) her noble mission. (I) am gladly
defraying whatever expense incurred as token (of) my admiration for community
(i.e., America) to which she originally belonged and on which her consecrated life
shed imperishable lustre. Advise hold befitting Memorial gathering (in) Temple
Foundation Hall.
(Signed) Shoghi.
