Writing, 1908
It begins with quotations from Baha’ Allah and ‘Abd al-Baha’, and includes the importance of the meeting between Tayirah Khanum, Mr. Charles Mason Remey, and Mr. Sydney on uniting west and east under the Baha'i faith; at the end of their talk, they told Tayirah Khanum about American women, and Tayirah Khanum took off her pearl necklace and handed it to Mr. Remey to give it to the American women. This pearl necklace was given to Tayirah Khanum by Malakah Iran, sister of Muzaffar al-Din Shah. It also includes a list of Baha’i women who hold meetings in different cities in Iran.
