Beloved Bahá'í Brother,
| |
2 |
On behalf of the Guardian I wish to acknowledge the
receipt of your welcome letter of the fourteenth of June last,
written in the name of the Archives-Committee of the
German N.S.A., and to convey to you and to them his
loving appreciation and thanks. He trusts that his gift,
offered to your National Archives through the kind care of
Miss Edith Horn, will serve to remind the German believers
of the importance and sacred character of that institution,
and to encourage them to help in contributing their full share
towards its further development and expansion. The
institution of the National Bahá'í Archives which all the
National Assemblies have already established is, indeed,
highly-important, the significance of which will be
increasingly realized as years go by. It is now that so many
precious sacred relics are still in the possession of individual
believers, that steps must be taken in order to insure their
safe preservation in the National Archives. The friends must
be encouraged to cooperate with their N.S.A. for the
attainment of this objective.

In closing may I assure you again of Shoghi Effendi's best
wishes and prayers for you and family, and to express hope
that your long-cherished desire to visit the Holy Land may
be realized in the near future.

With his cordial greetings...

be continually offered to the throne of Bahá'u'lláh.
