From July 21st till the 21st of November, I will be in much stricter seclusion. The time for my manifestation is drawing very close, and my Universal work is greatly intensified proportionately. I have very serious seclusion work to do, and during that time I should not be disturbed in the least. I will not attend to any correspondence during these four months, even emergencies, and no one must visit Meherazad unless I on my own call anyone for my work.
