The Guardian wishes me to heartily congratulate you for the success of your efforts in connection with the publication of this new (Japanese) Braille edition of “Bahá’u’lláh and the New Era”, which undoubtedly constitutes a most valuable addition to the literature of the Cause for the blind. I wish to also ask you to transmit the Guardian’s grateful appreciation and thanks to Mr. Torii for his painstaking labours for the preparation of this new Braille publication on the Cause. (signed by H. Rabbani) (in the Guardian’s handwriting) Wishing you success from all my heart, your true and grateful brother, Shoghi (November 19, 1936) [Letter of January 24, 1937] On behalf of the Guardian ... (I) wish to assure you again of his abiding appreciation of the splendid activities in which you are so laboriously and so devotedly engaged for the spread and establishment of the Cause in Japan. Do not feel discouraged at the meagerness of the results you now obtain. The Master’s promises regarding the share you are destined to contribute towards the spread of the Faith in the Far East will sooner or later be completely realized. No matter how dark the present may appear, you should feel nevertheless confident that the distant future is immeasurably bright. Strive, therefore, with a joyful radiant and confident heart to hasten the fulfillment of ‘Abdu’l-Bahá’s glorious promises. Your reward is unimaginably great, and the success that awaits your labours certain. Regarding your visit to Fujita’s mother(28), the Guardian feels rejoiced and thankful for all the kindness and assistance you have so lovingly extended to her, and would certainly approve of your wish to continue helping her in every way you can... (signed by H. Rabbani) (in the Guardian’s handwriting) With the assurance of my deepfelt and abiding appreciation of your wholehearted and touching response to my request(29), and wishing you success and happiness from the depths of my heart. Your true and grateful brother, Shoghi (January 24, 1937) [Letter of June 3, 1946] Miss Alexander left Japan in 1937. She made her pilgrimage to Haifa and rejoiced in being in the presence of the Guardian. After that she traveled to various places and ended up in her ancestral home in Hawaii. At the Guardian’s urging she returned to Japan in 1950. Below are some of the letters from the Guardian sent to her home in Hawaii and then to Japan upon her return. He (the Guardian) was ... glad to know you have put the soldier Bahá’ís in Korea and Japan in contact with the friends in those places, and hopes and prays this will lead to the rebirth of the Cause out there. (signed by R. Rabbani) (in the Guardian’s handwriting) May the Beloved bless, sustain, and guide you, at all times and under all conditions, aid you to add fresh laurels to the crown you have won in the service of His Faith, and fulfill your heart’s desire for its promotion. Your true brother, Shoghi (June 3, 1946)
