So far as the publication of the pamphlet in Eskimo is concerned, it probably would be advisable for you to write the National Assembly on this important matter, asking them what the present status is, and if you can assist in any way. With loving Bahá’í greetings, I am, Faithfully yours, Leroy Ioas Secretary-General (69) May 7, 1954 (69) May 7, 1954 Dear Bahá’í Brother: Your letter of April 21st has been received by the beloved Guardian, and he has instructed me to answer you on his behalf. He appreciated your loving thought in sending him Ridván Greetings from a new Alaskan Center.(15) He attaches the greatest importance to the spread of the Faith in that territory, because, as you know, it is destined to have a National Spiritual Assembly of its own ere the termination of the Ten Year Plan; and the sooner the believers can open up new centers and establish new Spiritual Assemblies, the sooner will the happy day come when Alaska will be independent, and have its own national Bahá’í Body. He assures you he will certainly pray that your sacrifices and your services may be richly rewarded. He urges you to concentrate on attracting the natives as much as possible, by that he means the Eskimos. These people have a right to hear of the glorious message of Bahá’u’lláh, and he hopes you will be instrumental in attracting many of them to the Faith. With warmest Bahá’í greetings, R. Rabbani [From the Guardian:] Assuring you of my loving prayers for your success and spiritual advancement, Your true brother, Shoghi (70) May 14, 1954 (70) May 14, 1954 Dear Bahá’í Friends: Your letter of March 19th has been received by the beloved Guardian, and he has instructed me to answer you on his behalf. He is delighted to see that you are in one of the goal cities in Alaska, and that you have been joined by Miss Meyer. He feels sure that this nucleus will soon attract to itself sufficient new Bahá’ís to create a Spiritual Assembly.(16) He urges you to persevere, and assures you of his prayers for your success. With warm Bahá’í greetings, R. Rabbani (71) July 20, 1954 (71) July 20, 1954 Dear Bahá’í Sister: Your letter of June 5th has been received by the beloved Guardian, and he has instructed me to answer you on his behalf. He will pray that your personal affairs may work out happily. He fully approves of your going to Selewik, where you can be of greater service to the Faith than in Fairbanks, where there are now a number of Bahá’ís, until such time as you can arrange to carry the Teachings into the far north. He assures you his loving prayers will always surround you in your devoted efforts to serve the Faith so dear to your heart. With warm Bahá’í greetings, R. Rabbani [From the Guardian:] May the Almighty bless, guide and sustain you, remove all obstacles from your path, and enable you to promote the vital interests of His Faith. Your true brother, Shoghi (72) December 23, 1954 (72) December 23, 1954
