The various enclosures you forwarded in your letter were all received safely by him. He hopes that now that the National Headquarters has been established and you are going to take up residence there as Secretary—thus giving a new permanence and prestige to the functions of the N.S.A.—the work of the Faith will go ahead by leaps and bounds. The many groups now functioning should be aided and strengthened with a view to forming new Spiritual Assemblies as soon as possible, and the Cause should be given publicity as much as possible, through the Press, Radio and public meetings. You may be sure his most loving prayers will be offered for the success of your labours as N.S.A. secretary, and for your health and guidance. Also for the confirmation of your dear husband in the Faith. With Bahá’í love, R. Rabbani. [From the Guardian:] Dear and valued co-workers: The work accomplished by the Australian and New Zealand believers in recent years, in both the teaching and administrative spheres of Bahá’í activity, culminating in the splendid celebrations at the newly established national headquarters in the capital city of the Australian Commonwealth, is highly praiseworthy and augurs well for the future. The opening years of the new century must witness a stupendous effort on the part of the newly established community in the teaching field—an effort at once nation-wide, systematic, strenuous and persistent. The multiplication of Bahá’í centres in towns and villages, a greater measure of publicity, a higher degree of unity and consecration to the Faith, a fuller measure of self-sacrifice should distinguish the labours of the members of this community. I will pray from the depths of my heart for the removal of every obstacle from your path and the speedy realization of every hope you cherish for the promotion of His Faith and the consolidation of its institutions. Your true and grateful brother, Shoghi. LETTER OF DEC. 12TH, 1944 Haifa, Dec. 12th, 1944. Dear Bahá’í Sister: The beloved Guardian has instructed me to write your National Spiritual Assembly and inform you of his views and wishes in connection with the Summer School in Australia: He does not consider it either wise or necessary at the present time to have more than one Bahá’í Summer School in Australia, and as Yerrinbool is equipped to accommodate the friends on Bahá’í property, so to speak, he would suggest that Yerrinbool continue to be used as the Australian Bahá’í Summer School. He pointed out this same principle of not multiplying the number of Summer Schools some time ago in connection with the Adelaide Assembly’s purchase of a building and property. He has also done the same thing in America—limited the number of Summer Schools—as the friends in their enthusiasm to inaugurate new institutions wanted to have very many summer schools which would have not only weakened, instead of strengthening, the older schools, but also would have dissipated the energy of the friends.
