P.S. I wish to also acknowledge receipt of the letter of your Assembly’s
Treasurer, dated Dec. 23rd, and to thank you, on behalf of the Guardian,
for your loving contribution to the International Fund here in Haifa. He
regrets the delay in getting this off to you, but has been too busy to
attend to it owing to work in connection with the Shrine here. Kindly give
the enclosed receipt to Mr. Tunks.
[From the Guardian:]
Dear and valued co-workers:
Recent communications and reports from your Assembly have revealed, in a
very striking manner, the magnificent progress achieved by the alert, the
faithful, and truly distinguished communities of the followers of the
Faith of Bahá’u’lláh in Australia, New Zealand and Tasmania. The range of
their labours, the rapid consolidation of their swiftly multiplying
institutions, the soundness and solidity of the foundations, on which they
are erecting these institutions, the exemplary loyalty they demonstrate,
the solidarity and self-sacrifice, the courage and confidence they display
in their incessant and manifold activities, prove, beyond the shadow of a
doubt that the Faith they love and serve so nobly and efficiently has at
last been firmly and unassailably established in the Antipodes, and that
its upholders and defenders in those far-away yet highly promising islands
are contributing a notable and never-to-be-forgotten share to the onward
march and unfoldment of its world Administrative Order.
I desire to offer the members of this high-minded, this resolute and
dearly-beloved community, and particularly its elected representatives, my
heartfelt congratulations on their splendid achievements which posterity
will recognize as deeds that have truly enriched and adorned the annals of
the Faith in the opening years of the second Bahá’í century.
