He considers it would be a great service to the Faith if you can arrange to have some of the literature translated into other of the more widely used dialects, and especially Aleut. He also approves of your following the idea of the book published in English entitled: “A Bahá’í Child’s Song Book,” where you feel that is desirable. The Guardian greatly values the services of your Committee in their devoted efforts to bring the Faith to the native people of Alaska, and assures you of his prayers for the abundant success of your labours. With warm Bahá’í greetings, R. Rabbani [From the Guardian:] May the Beloved bless, guide and sustain you, and enable you to enrich the record of your splendid services to His Faith. Your true brother, Shoghi (22) August 26, 1955 (22) August 26, 1955 Spiritual Assembly of the Bahá’ís of Anchorage Dear Bahá’í Sister: Your letters of July 15 and 23, with enclosures, have been received by the beloved Guardian; and he has instructed me to answer you on his behalf. He regrets the delay in receiving your letter of the 15th, as it prevented his sending a cabled message on the occasion of the dedication of the Hazíratu’l-Quds of Alaska. He rejoices over this important step forward on the way to the formation of the National Spiritual Assembly of the Bahá’ís of Alaska. He considers the progress of the Faith in Alaska remarkable. The Guardian urges the friends to exert even greater efforts, especially in the teaching and enrollment of the Eskimos. He remembers all the dear friends in Alaska in his loving prayers. With loving Bahá’í greetings, R. Rabbani [From the Guardian:] May the Beloved guide, aid and protect you in your high and historic endeavours, assist you to extend rapidly the range of your meritorious activities, and win memorable victories in the service of His Faith. Your true brother, Shoghi (23) September 16, 1955 (23) September 16, 1955 Teaching Committee for Alaska Dear Bahá’í Brother: The beloved Guardian has received your letter of August 17th, with the sheet enclosed showing the names of those who attended the first All Alaskan Summer Teaching Conference. The progress of the work in Alaska is very gratifying to him. He would like your Committee to assure those who attended this Teaching Conference of his prayers for the success of their labours. It is the Guardian’s deep hope that, in countries where the friends may teach freely, a mighty, sustained teaching effort may be exerted. If the Faith progresses rapidly in such countries, this will in a measure compensate for the setback it has suffered in Persia, because of the recent terrible persecutions. He attaches great importance to Alaska; and he hopes the friends there will rise to great heights, in the days to come, in their teaching activities. With warm Bahá’í greetings, R. Rabbani [From the Guardian:]
