At the invitation of Abdul Baha, they sailed from New York on 16 Mar 1920 to Haifa to visit him, where they finally arrived on 21 Apr 1920. They visited several sites, stayed with the Bahais there, and eventually returned to the United States about June or July 1920. | [http://www.h-net.org/~bahai/diglib/books/U-Z/W/White_Ruth/BLOL057.gif On page 57] we see that by 18 Dec 1918, "Ruth White and H.

Frederick Glaysher paid to have copies made of the documents Ruth deposited in the Library of Congress relating to her correspondence with Palestine about the will. On one of these documents, dated 1931 [http://www.fglaysher.com/bahaicensorship/RWhiteLibC.htm here] they, at that time, lived on Morningside Drive in New York City. They possibly as well had a home in Utica, New York. She perhaps moved in the mid 40s to Beverly Hills, California where one of her books is published in 1946. Her husband died in Santa Monica, Los Angeles County, California in 1953. She was evidently yet living as late as 1962, in South Carolina, per the Pierrepont genealogy cited above. | Frederick Glaysher paid to have copies made of the documents Ruth deposited in the Library of Congress relating to her correspondence with Palestine about the will.
