The Guardian, therefore, trusts that by this means you will succeed in
gradually introducing a fundamental change in your daughter’s life, and
also in making of her a better and truer believer. He is fervently praying
on her behalf that she may fully attain this station.
(From a letter dated 26 January 1935 written on behalf of Shoghi Effendi
to an individual believer) [116]

The Guardian sees no objection that reference be made to the fact that the
teaching classes and conferences which the believers are now organizing
might evolve in the distant future into departments of education, or such
institutions of learning as will be established in the future Bahá’í
social order.
(From a letter dated 12 July 1938 written on behalf of Shoghi Effendi to
an individual believer) [117]
“118: As regards your plans: the Guardian fully approves indeed of your
view...”
As regards your plans: the Guardian fully approves indeed of your view
that no matter how urgent and vital the requirements of the teaching work
may be you should under no circumstances neglect the education of your
children, as towards them you have an obligation no less sacred than
towards the Cause.
Any plan or arrangement you may arrive at which would combine your twofold
duties towards your family and the Cause, and would permit you to resume
active work in the field of pioneer teaching, and also to take good care
of your children so as to not jeopardize their future in the Cause would
meet with the whole-hearted approval of the Guardian.
(From a letter dated 17 July 1938 written on behalf of Shoghi Effendi to
an individual believer) [118]
“119: The Guardian wishes me to assure you, in particular, of his
supplications...”
The Guardian wishes me to assure you, in particular, of his supplications
on behalf of your children, that they may, through Divine confirmations
and assistance, and under your loving care and protection, receive such
training as may lead them to fully recognize and unreservedly accept the
Faith, and provide them with the necessary spiritual equipment to
effectively and loyally serve and promote its interests in the future.
As a Bahá’í mother you have certainly a most sacred and weighty
responsibility for their spiritual development in the Cause, and you
should from now endeavour to instil into their hearts the love of
Bahá’u’lláh and thus prepare them for the full recognition and acceptance
of His Station once they attain the age and capacity to do so.
(From a letter dated 20 April, 1939 written on behalf of Shoghi Effendi to
an individual believer) [119]
