The Guardian was most happy to learn of the many teaching opportunities which have been coming to you in that land, where you have labored so tirelessly and so lovingly, and assures you of his prayers for you and for those whom you are attracting to the Faith of Bahá’u’lláh. (signed by R. Rabbani) (May 22, 1952) [Letter of September 29, 1952] The Guardian greatly values your continuous sacrificial services in behalf of the Faith, particularly in Japan. He prays for the success of the efforts of the friends in Japan, that the Cause may spread rapidly in that country. He will particularly pray for the success of your work in Kyoto. He is hopeful that your contact with the Esperantists in Japan will bring many of them into the Faith. (signed by Leroy Ioas) (September 29, 1952) [Letter of August 15, 1953] The Guardian is indeed deeply grateful for your ceaseless services in the Cause of God, and was very happy to learn from you of the progress of the work in Japan. He urges you by all means to make your plans to attend the International Teaching Conference to be held in New Delhi in October. You should then return to Japan, as he feels that this is the time for you to resume your work in that country. (signed by R. Rabbani) (in the Guardian’s handwriting) May the Beloved bless, guide and sustain you always, reward you abundantly for your long record of historic services, and enable you to enrich it in the days to come. Your true brother, Shoghi (August 15, 1953) [Letter of May 3, 1954] The Guardian has been greatly pleased with the manner in which the Faith has been spreading in Japan. He sincerely hopes that during the second year of the Crusade it will spread even more rapidly, and to more centers. The future of the Faith in Japan is very great. It now depends upon the Bahá’ís to teach, to develop the Faith in a city and then move on to a new area. If this is continued diligently, it will bring the light of guidance to all parts of Japan in a very short time. (signed by Leroy Ioas) (May 3, 1954) [Letter of May 5, 1954] He (the Guardian) was very happy to hear of the progress of the work in Japan; and he greatly appreciates the fact that you have returned once more to that country, so dear to your heart, and where the Master was so eager for you to serve. He wishes to assure you that he will pray for Mr. Mori(30), and that before he passes from this world, his spirit may be illumined, and he may come to accept Bahá’u’lláh. The Guardian was also very pleased to hear that the Momtazis have given their home as a Bahá’í hall and Hazira, and hopes that this will open the way for the foundation of a firm Spiritual Assembly in the city. (signed by R. Rabbani) (May 5, 1954) [Letter of May 27, 1954] He (the Guardian) was glad to hear Mr. Mori died a firm Bahá’í and that his funeral was in itself a service to the Faith. He will pray for his soul, and for his dear family. (signed by “Ruhiyyih”) (May 27, 1954)
