With love and warm Bahá’í greetings from the holy household and the friends here, to the dear friends in Auckland. In the Master’s Service, Sincerely Yours, Ethel J. Rosenberg [From the Guardian:] _My dear co-worker:_ _I am deeply touched by this further evidence of the love and devotion of the New-Zealand Bahá’ís and I will gladly forward their contribution of our friend to the Teheran Assembly to be sent by them to the sufferers in Jahrum. I will ardently pray for every one of you that the Beloved may guide your steps and lead you to glorious victory. I urge you to communicate regularly and frequently with the Bahá’í newsletter editor through Mr Horace Holley and report to him the progress of your activities. It is so essential and valuable._ _Your true brother, _ _ Shoghi_ (18) May 13th, 1927 My dear Bahá’í Sister, I take pleasure in thanking you on behalf of my dear Guardian for your letter of April 5th. As a far away outpost of the Bahá’í Faith in New Zealand, he is always delighted to hear from Auckland and especially yourself and your promising Assembly there. You own a warm spot in his heart and he is looking forward to the day when through the efforts of the Auckland Assembly, centres will be established in every town in New Zealand. A firm faith and a golden heart is yours, there still remains to turn other hearts into gold. Miss Butler is well and often thinks of you. Assuring you of our Guardian’s prayers and the love and best wishes of the family who always remember you. Ever yours in His Service, Soheil Afnan [From the Guardian:] _My dear and precious co-worker:_ _You should exercise your judgement and tact in delivering the message. You should make an effort to understand the character and mind of the seeker before you speak to him on the Cause. I will pray that you may be inspired and guided to follow the path of moderation and may become an exemplary herald of His message in that far-away land._ _Your well-wisher, _ _ Shoghi_ (19) June 4th, 1929 Dear Spiritual Sister: Shoghi Effendi wishes me to acknowledge the receipt of your letter of Feb. 14th. He always feels great pleasure to obtain some news from the friends of that distant land and he hopes and prays that through God’s blessings and your constant endeavours the Cause will develop in New Zealand and bring into its fold many sincere and devoted souls. The news that we daily obtain from the different parts of the world bring in wonderful news of the progress of the Movement. The world is gradually appreciating the significance of this Movement which has been for so long misunderstood and denounced. Yours ever sincerely, Ruhi Afnan [From the Guardian:] _My dear Spiritual Sister:_
