Letter of 16 July 1924
My dear Bahá'í Brother,
| |
1 |
...I have to write you and inform you that only yesterday I
had the privilege of receiving a letter from our dear Guardian
who is still away from Haifa ... he wishes me to write you, in
answer to your letter to him, that he very much regrets to be
unable to be present in London and represent a Cause to which
he has ... dedicated his heart and soul. Were it at all possible for
me to send you his short note, you would see for yourself with
what a spirit he expresses his deep regret.... Although he realises
your disappointment at his inability to go to London, he wishes
me to assure every one of you that his eager prayers for you all
is unfailing and that it is with a glad heart that he cherishes the
fondest hopes in the effort that the proceedings of the religious
Conference shall have on the audience. May I also add that this
is a hope in which everybody shares especially the Greatest Holy
Leaf and the members of the family.

I presume by now you have already received a copy of the
address that is to be read...

You might be interested to know that the news of the progress
of the Cause among the Kadiani sect in India is quite surprising
and two of their chief leaders have not only become Bahá'ís, but
have started an admirable little weekly, I think, through which
they hope to bring many of their colleagues over. By the way,
I believe the leader of the sect who is himself a young man is
coming over to London to represent his sect at the Conference.

The confusion and disorder in Persia which had aroused so
much apprehension on the part of the helpless Bahá'ís and had
even led in one case to actual martyrdom, has apparently
subsided for the moment.

Here in Haifa everybody is in good health. With heartfelt
greetings to all the friends in London....
