The Lua and Edward Getsinger made a second pilgrimage in the autumn of 1900. They remained in Haifa from September until January 1, 1901, then went to Port Said to study with Mirza Abu'l-Fadl, the foremost Baha'i scholar of the period. They were in Port Said until March 1, when they returned to Haifa by permission of 'Abdu'l-Baha. (Lua Getsinger Herald of the Covenant, p. 38)
