Abdul Baha first came to New York City, arriving on 11 Apr 1912 on the S.S. Cedric. for his speaking tour which criss-crossed the United States from this time, until they left for England on 5 Dec 1912.  They then visited Scotland, France and Germany before returning to Port Said. Sohrab would continue as secretary and interpreter to [[Abdu'l-Baha]] until 1919, with instructions to also memorize all of Abdul Baha's tablets.  When World War I ended and letters could flow freely, the Bahai's in Palestine learned that the American Baha'is had been quarreling, ostracizing one another, had formed a "Committee of Investigation", and were persecuting the innocent in public.

([http://www.h-net.org/~bahai/diglib/books/P-T/S/sohrab/MBP113.gif ''My Baha'i Pilgrimage'', page 113])  Sohrab came to the United States in time for the annual convention, and remarks on the stumbling blocks put in his path by certain Baha'is, whom he does not name, but he does name those who helped him.
