Letter of 18 January 1924
My dear Mr. Simpson,
| |
1 |
Shoghi Effendi was glad to hear from you again and hopes
that the activities of the friends in England are progressing day
after day. There is really so much to be done in almost every
country that the more the friends accomplish, the larger does the
field of service become. As a matter of fact in many countries we
can hardly claim to have fully represented the Cause and to have
declared its strong and sublime principles to all classes of men. It
is with a vision of greater accomplishments among higher and
higher circles of society, that our Guardian wishes his fellow-workers
to feel inspired; and in these dark and dismal days it is
the proclamation of Bahá'u'lláh's great Message for which the
faithful servant must strive with heart and soul.

Concerning the sum which Shoghi Effendi has sent to the
National Assembly as a personal gift; he would like to inform
you that in case you feel in great need of funds for the activities
of the Cause in England, you might take from the sum which he
sent you, and at the time of the Exposition Shoghi Effendi might
be able to help you in case you cannot collect the necessary
expense. Shoghi Effendi attaches great hopes to the activities of
the friends in London, and may they some day be realised.

The copies of the "Hidden Words" you had published were
received and Shoghi Effendi thinks that they are quite well
printed. He is glad that he can share these comforting thoughts
from Bahá'u'lláh with his brothers and sisters in the West....

[From the Guardian:]
My dear fellow-worker,

I always look forward with keen anticipation to any news from
England indicating the progress and advancement of the Cause so dear
to our hearts. I pray ardently for every one of you and assure you
personally of my affection, esteem and gratitude,

Your brother,
