Letter of 11 February 1934
Dear Bahá'í Friend,
| |
| 1 |
Shoghi Effendi wishes me to acknowledge on his behalf the
receipt of your letters dated Jan. 20th and Feb. 2nd, 1934, all of
which he read with deep interest. He has also received the text
of the High Commissioner's reply to your petition.

With regard to the "New Commonwealth" society he would
advise the N.S.A. to join it as soon as possible after having
carefully ascertained that affiliation with such a body does not
involve any political allegiance to any doctrine or group. As you
have already stated this organisation is run on non-party lines. It
would be, however, advisable that you should find out the real
aims and objectives of the society and specially the methods it
advocates for the carrying out of its ideals before definitely
joining it.

The Guardian hopes that this will give the friends a further
opportunity to make new contacts, and to draw more competent
and sincere people to the Cause. He is fully alive to the difficulties
facing the friends at the present time. But he would urge each
and all to work harder than ever, and to persevere in order that
the Faith may be better appreciated and understood by the
public.

He will continue to supplicate on behalf of you all at the Holy
Shrines, so that Bahá'u'lláh may sustain you in your efforts to
spread His message.

[From the Guardian:]
May the Almighty bless richly your continued and self-sacrificing
endeavours, restore your health, cheer your heart, and enable you to
promote effectively the vital interests of our beloved Faith.
