Dear Bahá'í Sister:
| |
2 |
Your letters dated March 1st, 25th and March 21st--
Bahá'í Naw-Rúz greeting--have been received, and the
Guardian has instructed me to answer them on his behalf.
| |
3 |
He was very pleased indeed to hear that the Cause in
New Zealand is not only steadily progressing but that it is
winning such good friends as Rev. Chandler. Also the
preparations you are making for the Centenary should serve
to not only publicise the Faith, but bring the believers closer
to liberal-minded fellow-citizens.
| |
4 |
He himself is at present frightfully busy with local
preparations for the Centenary and with cables and
correspondence--but he wishes you all to know that his
thoughts will be with you on this glorious day of the 100th
anniversary of the Báb's declaration, and he will pray for all
the New Zealand Bahá'ís in the Holy Shrines.
| |
5 |
With most loving greetings and best wishes from the
Guardian for the success of all your plans.
| |
6 |
Yours with Bahá'í love,

P.S. He appreciated very much your sending Naw-Rúz
greetings.

May the Beloved bless your efforts, guide your steps, sustain you in your devoted endeavours, and enable you to
promote effectively the best interests of His Faith.
