Dear Spiritual Brother,
 |  |  
	| 1 | Your letter to Shoghi Effendi has been received and was read 
by him with keen delight and satisfaction for it bespoke of the 
new spirit of ardent devotion that has enkindled the hearts of the 
faithful followers of Bahá, and of their loyal and active 
endeavours in the path of service.  Should the friends continue 
in their labours of love and service their activities will yield 
glorious results and they shall witness the realisation of the 
promises of the Beloved regarding the spiritual achievements of 
the friends in that land. |  |  
	| 2 | Shoghi Effendi is highly gratified and encouraged to know 
that the friends have carried out so efficiently his directions 
regarding the establishment of National and local Spiritual 
Assemblies; and he feels confident that the co-ordinated and 
unified efforts of its members, blessed by the unfailing assistance 
and guidance of the Beloved Master, will mark the dawn of a 
new era of spiritual activity and enlightenment. |  |  
	| 3 | He is very pleased to know that you are faithfully working 
for peace and harmony amongst the friends; and he prays that 
you may be blessed in your endeavours and be inspired and 
guided to clear all misunderstandings that may arise; and may 
help bring about that spirit of unity which is so essential to the 
life and growth of the Cause.  There is no doubt that difficulties 
will always arise; but if met in the spirit of earnest and selfless 
devotion and purity of motive all problems will be solved and 
we shall emerge from every difficulty spiritually stronger and 
wiser. |  |  
	| 4 | Shoghi Effendi wishes to extend to you his thanks for your 
giving him the report of the activities of the friends there.  He 
will soon write a letter to the Assembly based on their report.  He 
wishes you to rest assured that his thoughts and prayers are with 
you wishing you all success in your labours for the promulgation 
of the Blessed Cause. |  |  
	| 5 | Although unable to write individual letters he will gladly 
welcome all letters that you will send him in the future... |  |  |
