Letter of 30 August 1953
Dear Bahá'í Brother,
| |
1 |
Your letter of 5th August has been received by the beloved
Guardian, and he has instructed me to answer you on his behalf.
| |
2 |
The contributions made by the British Bahá'í community to
the Shrine of the Báb Fund and to the Bahá'í International Fund
are greatly appreciated. Receipts are enclosed herewith.

The beloved Guardian deeply values the unique and outstanding
services of the Bahá'ís of the British Isles. Through their
devotion and sacrifice, they are setting an example for posterity.
| |
4 |
He wishes me to assure you that he prays fervently for the
spiritual confirmation of all of the friends of the British Isles; for
their material and spiritual welfare, and that every obstacle may
be removed from their paths of service, particularly during the
Global Crusade.

The Shrine of the Báb is rapidly nearing completion. Its
beauty and splendour are difficult to portray. Certainly the
Guardian very aptly described the octagon, the drum and the
dome as the triple crowns on the Shrine of the Báb. Now that
the glory and splendour of the golden dome is revealed by the
removal of all of the scaffolding, it is truly a golden crown for
the Shrine, and each time one looks at it, one becomes more and
more impressed that it is a symbol of the manner in which the
Bahá'ís of the world, led by the beloved Guardian, are crowning
the Bahá'í activities of the past one hundred years by spreading
the knowledge of the Glory of the Lord throughout the world.

The Guardian sends his loving greetings to you all....
