Letter of 4 November 1924
My dear Mr. Simpson,
| |
| 1 |
It is always a pleasure to acknowledge receipt of your letters
to our dear Guardian, and he was deeply interested in the minutes
of the last meeting of the N.S.A. which you were so kind as to
enclose.

Your own letter, however, brought up a very interesting and
vital question in regard to the future progress of the Cause in
England, especially now that through the efforts of you all the
spread of the Bahá'í Movement has been well placed on the road
to our ultimate victory. Now is the time to take all necessary
measures against a slacking in our pace and it is truly unfortunate
that just when the individual endeavours of every single member
is most needed and necessary, age and earthly cares deprive us of
some of our experienced and able co-workers. It would, I believe,
be a great service if just as few as possible could manage to deny
themselves of the joy and enthusiasm of serving as noble a Cause.

I am sure it would interest you to know that Mr. and Mrs.
Mills are now in Haifa and all that they have to say proves well
the energy and efforts of the London friends. We already have
about ten pilgrims and are expecting some more. I suppose Dr.
Esslemont who would have much to tell us and whose arrival
Shoghi Effendi is eagerly awaiting, is among those who will
soon arrive....

[From the Guardian:]
My dear fellow-worker,
| |
| 5 |
I trust that the prolonged visit of Dr. Esslemont will prove to be in
future pregnant with far-reaching possibilities for the service of the
Cause in England. To yourself I send my imperishable love and
brotherly greetings.

Affectionately,
