At 8:55 A.M. the following morning, Thursday, 5 June 1958, the group was called to Baba's house. Baba asked if they had slept well and those who had not were to stand and say why. Everyone stood as Don read the Prayer of Repentance. Baba again stated all were forgiven for their sins and failures up to that moment, including all those who loved him but were not able to be present.
He asked Francis to go outside to see if the weather was suitable for Baba to visit the women's quarters (the old farmhouse — later the Rouses' residence). This is where the food was being prepared during the sahavas. The mist had lifted, although it was still cloudy. Francis said it looked like rain, but Baba decided to go anyway. He put on an overcoat and was driven down the hill to the farmhouse by John Bruford. Despite his injured hip, Baba went up the long staircase and through the house, inspecting the rooms. He called for the cooks. Baba pointed to one bunk and was told it was May Lundquist's. He then pointed to a framed picture of himself by May's bed. Smiling sweetly, he said how dear May was to him and how much she loved him. Then he was driven to see the men's tents, which were pitched by the roadside. He leaned on one tent post as he surveyed the tents.
On his return to his house, he sent for the women. Those who attended remembered it as an intimate, special occasion. For instance, Joanna Bruford recalls:
Baba was just so relaxed! It was just like being at home with your family. He sat there on the bed and beside him he had a lot of things that the women mandali had sent out. He leaned over; there was a game going on. He was picking out what he would give to whom. It was really lovely to see Baba taking so much time in such a little thing.
The women sat around him on the carpet of his room as Baba leaned against the satin cushions on his bed. Eruch was beside him to interpret.
Baba spoke to them about Mehera: "Mehera is the purest of women, and she has sent her love to you all. She has sent some gifts to give to each of you. After Mehera is Mani, my sister. She has no thought of herself and does all for me."
