Mahmud: June 24 – An example of ‘Abdu’l-Bahá’s heavy correspondence

In the morning ‘Abdu’l-Bahá said to us:

After the Ascension of Bahá’u’lláh I did everything within my power to promote the Cause of God. I clung to spiritual methods and rendered such servitude at the Threshold of God so that the divine Cause might advance throughout the world. And my correspondence was so heavy that, at the time of the death of an American maidservant of God, my letters to her were counted and numbered sixty-seven; so you can imagine the situation!
