Dear Friends!

One of the undersigned Editors of Kawkab-
America, which represents over 200000 persons
in North and South America attended one of
your services in Salt Lake City subsequent
to his conversations with some of the mission-
aries and representatives of your Church,
and concieved the idea of translating your
great book to the Arabic Language which is
the Sacred Tongue of 250,000,000 Orientals
through out the World. Our plans and
equipments are such as to meet your approval.
What we like to know is this. What arrangements
can we make to carry them out under the
auspices of your Church and through its
cooperation. Judging from the favorable reception
of our many readers of the translation we
gave of the first chapters We feel sure that
the work would be successful. We would
like to be put in direct communication
with some of your authorized representatives
