Letter of 22 September 1948
The Spiritual Assembly of the Bahá'ís of Bristol Dear Bahá'í Friends,
 
1

Your letter of April 21st reached our beloved Guardian after a long delay, and he has instructed me to answer it on his behalf.

 
2

The formation of your Assembly, in the face of so many difficulties, was indeed a noble achievement, and serves to prove that our struggles as individuals, often handicapped by the sense of our own inadequacy, are reinforced by the grace of Bahá'u'lláh, Who enables us to achieve the seemingly impossible!

 
3

He urges you all to persevere in maintaining your Assembly, which forms one of the vital links in the Bahá'í chain, which will soon gird the British Isles, never to lose heart, and to redouble your teaching labours so as to ensure a broader foundation next year for your Assembly's election and thus guarantee its permanency.

 
4

His prayers will be offered for you, one and all, for your success and guidance.

With Bahá'í Love,

[From the Guardian:]
Dear and valued co-workers,

I was so pleased and grateful to receive your message, and I wish to assure you all of my loving and fervent prayers for the progress of your historic work, the extension of your activities and the realisation of every hope you cherish for the promotion of our beloved Faith. May the Almighty watch over you, sustain you in your valued endeavours, and aid you to render memorable services to His Faith and its institutions.

Your true and grateful brother,
