It is with great sorrow that we have to announce the sudden death of Mirza Mahmud Zarqani. His death, as all realize, is a great loss to the Cause and has deeply grieved the hearts of all the friends. The following telegram was received from the beloved Guardian: 'Deeply mourn passing (of) Zargan! His outstanding services will shine evermore. Urge friends hold befitting memorials.''
Mirza Mahmud was the Master's secretary during His visit in America and transcribed in Persian the complete text of ‘Abddu’l-Baha’s' public addresses and many of His words to individuals and groups. A manuscript exists, written by Mirza Mahmud, which gives in daily detail the events of that marvelous journey. It is ardently to be hoped that means will be found to publish this volume.
