Sub-Footnote Number One 221 remained under suspension for a long time. Eighteen months or perhaps a little longer passed in which he suffered all kinds of misfor- tunes, difficulties, and hardships during the period of his suspension, and it appeared that the Government was also against him. At that time, I was told in a dream that he would be cleared and I said to him in my dream: ‘Fear not.

About ten years ago, I saw Hadrat Mas ih [i. e. , Jesus the Messiah] , peace be on him, in a dream. The Mas ih and I ate together from the same dish. During the meal we were very intimate and affectionate with each other, like two brothers or two companions and friends of long standing. Afterwards, in the same place where I am now writing, the Mas ih and I, and a perfectly righteous descendant of the Holy Prophet, happily stayed together in the courtyard for some time. The descend- ant of the Holy Prophet held a piece of paper in his hand on which the
