Letter of 17 May 1938
Dear Mr. Hofman,
| |
| 1 |
I am instructed to acknowledge the receipt of your communications
addressed to our beloved Guardian dated December
24th, January 10th, February 13th and March 22nd together
with the enclosed minutes of the meetings of the British N.S.A.,
as well as the copies of the "Bahá'í Journal", all of which he has
read with closest attention and keenest interest.

He has noted with gratification that the Teaching Conference
held in Manchester during last December was successful, and
that the meetings were all pervaded with a spirit of unity and of
fellowship. He has read with deep satisfaction the report of the
above Conference which you had sent, and indeed trusts that the
decision and plans that have been adopted will, through their
faithful application in the course of this year, serve to greatly
accelerate the expansion of the teaching work throughout the
British Isles....

P.S. Shoghi Effendi has just received your letter of May 16th
and wishes your Assembly to make strenuous efforts in
connection with the incorporation of the N.S.A. He would
advise you to approach Lady Blomfield, Major Tudor-Pole and
Lord Lamington.

The Guardian wishes me to inform you that you have been
appointed by him a member of the International staff of editors
of the "Bahá'í World". He wishes you to start from now
collecting the necessary material for the next edition and to send
them gradually and directly to Mrs. French.

[From the Guardian:]
Dear and valued co-worker,
| |
| 6 |
I greatly welcome the determination of the English believers to
concentrate their energies on the teaching work, and I pray from all
my heart for the success of their high endeavours in this all-important
field of Bahá'í service. Individuals as well as local Assemblies must
arise and co-operate and persevere and refuse to allow any obstacle,
however formidable, to dim their hopes or to deflect them from the
course they have so spontaneously chosen to pursue. Kindly assure
them of my constant prayers for their success.
