     It must have been very distasteful to you to read some of the 
off-hand and ungrammatical translations that more out of 
necessity than choice won circulation and were even published.  
Furthermore, it was always the expressed wish and desire of 
`Abdu'l-Bahá to have proper and adequate translations that 
would not only convey the true spirit of the original but also 
possess some literary merit.  And for this he emphasised the 
necessity of a board of translators.  Such a board it has 
unfortunately been impossible to form as yet.

     Meanwhile Shoghi Effendi, realising the urgent necessity of 
the translation of some of the important writings, has translated 
some of the passages.
