 |  |  
	| 1 | Dear Bahá'í Friends: |  |  
	| 2 | Your letter reached our beloved Guardian, and he was 
delighted to see so many believers and friends were present 
at the July session of the School, and also to note the 
excellent courses you were given by the teachers and visitors 
present at the School. |  |  
	| 3 | He was also very pleased to see the program for the Youth 
Week being held in the Schwarzwald, and the emphasis 
which is being placed on teaching the Covenant in both 
Esslingen and this Youth week he considers very important. |  |  
	| 4 | The German Bahá'ís, like all the believers everywhere, 
will be strong, united and protected to the degree to which 
they are firm in the Covenants of both Bahá'u'lláh and the 
Master. |  |  
	| 5 | He hopes the teaching work in Germany will make great 
progress, and he urges you all to devote yourselves to this 
mighty task, and to promoting love and unity amongst the 
Bahá'ís and a better understanding of the administrative 
order of our Faith.... |  |  
	| 6 | [From the Guardian:] |  |  
	| 7 | Dear co-workers: |  |  
	| 8 | Your joint message brought joy and gladness to my heart 
and was a powerful reminder of the staunchness of the faith 
of the dearly-beloved German believers, their constancy and 
determination, their thoroughness and diligency in the study 
of the Faith and of its teachings, and their devotion to the 
interests of its institutions.  I will supplicate the Beloved on 
your behalf to enable you to acquire a still deeper 
understanding of the essentials of His Revelation, and to 
promote, with increasing effectiveness, the best interests of 
His Cause, |  |  
	| 9 | Your true and grateful brother, |  |
