"...I am delighted with your new centre, and will pray at the
Holy Shrines from the depths of my heart for its progress. Kindly
assure my dear English friends of my heartfelt appreciation of their
staunchness, their renewed activity, their self-sacrificing endeavours.
I will continue to pray for their individual, as well as their collective
efforts, from the bottom of my heart."

Shoghi
Through his Secretary to Sister Challis:--

"Now that the London centre has been transferred to a better
locality we hope it will attract more attention and add to the
number of attendants at the meetings. We should however, bear
in mind that no matter how important the hall may be--the
talks given and the unity manifested are of far greater
significance."

"Shoghi Effendi has a special affection for the English friends,
for he has been in their midst and knows most of them
personally. He therefore wishes and prays fervently that their
number may increase, and that they may render distinguished
services to the Cause. Please assure them all of his prayers and
extend to them his loving greetings."
