Letter of 15 February 1935
Dear Mrs. Slade,
| |
| 1 |
I am directed by the Guardian to thank you for your letters of
the fourth of January last and of the seventh of this month, all of
which he has read with deepest interest.

He was, however, grieved to learn of the slight indisposition
in your health, and particularly of the serious illness of Miss Elsie
Lea. He is praying for you both at the Holy Shrines that you may
be given the necessary strength to resume your work for the
Cause in London.

With regard to the situation in Persia, it is pretty bad indeed.
Conditions have not improved in the slightest degree, and the
friends are still suffering from the intolerable burden of
restrictions imposed upon them by the Authorities. The
Guardian does not advise your Assembly to enter into detailed
correspondence with any of the friends there, but sees no
objection if you send them copies of your News Letters....

The friends will no doubt appreciate the possibilities which
the admission of so distinguished a person as ... in their midst
will have for the Cause. This new development should, indeed,
encourage and stimulate them to persevere, nay to redouble
their efforts for the extension of their teaching activities
throughout Great Britain. The future of the Cause in that
country is, indeed, bright. But the friends should also exert their
utmost, lest through neglect and apathy its progress be impeded.
Now that such a wonderful opportunity has presented itself to
them, it is their responsibility to take their full chance and to
make a renewed attempt to extend and further consolidate their
teaching work in London and throughout the British Isles.

Shoghi Effendi is fervently praying that through the
confirmations and blessings of Bahá'u'lláh you may all be assisted
in effectively attaining this objective.

[From the Guardian:]
Dear and valued co-worker:
I am so pleased to learn of the splendid response of ... to the call of
our Faith, and would urge you to make a special effort, in conjunction
with the friends and Assemblies in England, to aid him to deepen his
faith and extend the scope of his valued activities. I will pray for the
success of your efforts and the realisation of your highest hopes.
