Letter of 29 August 1929
My dear Mr. Simpson,
| |

I write on behalf of the Guardian with reference to a subject
that has lately been raised by the N.S.A. of America, and referred
to him--the publication of a revised edition of the "Hidden
Words" in England.

Shoghi Effendi has asked me to write to America that in view
of the alterations that were lately introduced through the
assistance of Miss Rosenberg and Canon Townshend, a new
edition of the "Hidden Words" is fully justified and he approves
of it. However he does advise that such a publication should not
be taken up privately but wholly undertaken by the English
N.S.A. and in view of the large stock which the American
N.S.A. now holds of the present edition, he would urge that the
new edition should be deferred until the American N.S.A. has
sold off the bulk of its present stock. In general he would greatly
desire and keenly advise better co-operation and co-ordination
in the work of the American and English N.S.A. with regard to
publication. London, despite its small group has done great work
in Bahá'í publications but they must never forget that their
market lies unfortunately mainly across the Atlantic....

...I hope you have been able to go to Geneva with Mr. Mills.
Yours will be an Englishman's sober and matter of fact talk....
