Dear Bahá'í Sister:
| |
2 |
Shoghi Effendi has instructed me to answer your letter
to him of May 10th, which just came.
| |

He was, as already expressed in the cable he sent you,
greatly impressed by the statement in the Quarterly on the
true Bahá'í attitude at the present time. It displayed a correctness
of viewpoint, a courage, and a loyalty to Bahá'u'lláh
which has led him to disseminate it far and wide: in the
American News Letter, in the two Haifa News Letters,
English and Persian, etc. It was indeed a timely and most
noble contribution to the Faith.

The friends in both Australia and New Zealand seem to
have developed a most outstanding soundness in their relation
to the teachings. This leads Shoghi Effendi to believe
that they will make great contributions to the unfoldment of
the world-wide aspects of the Faith.
| |
5 |
His prayers are always with you, and he most deeply
appreciates the splendid services you are rendering the
Cause, and will pray that the way will open for you to do even
greater work and in an ever widening field.
| |
6 |
Please assure all the dear friends of Auckland of his
loving remembrance and his prayers for their work.
| |

With Bahá'í love,

Dear and valued co-worker:
| |
11 |
I cannot refrain from adding a few words in person to
assure you of my lively appreciation of your constancy and of
the distinctive services you are so ably and devotedly rendering
our beloved Faith. That you may be able to extend
their range is my fervent and constant prayer. Persevere, and
be confident and happy.

Your true and grateful brother,
