He wishes me to thank you for so kindly sending him copies of these Tablets of the Master which he will keep as a gift from you in the International Bahá’í Archives on Mt. Carmel. Needless to say how deeply he appreciates this gift, and how much he considers it of value to this first Archives of the Cause in the Holy Land. In closing may I express his admiration and gratitude for the services you are so devotedly rendering our beloved Cause in Esslingen. The Esslingen community owes you indeed a great debt, and can never be too grateful for the manifold accomplishments you have, steadily and splendidly, contributed towards its development, ever since the early days of the Cause in Germany. The Guardian wishes you also to convey his thanks and appreciation to dear Mrs. Schweizer. He is grieved to learn of her indisposition, but hopes and fervently prays that by the time this letter reaches you she will have been completely cured and restored to full health. With renewed greetings to you both, and also to the community of believers in Esslingen, [From the Guardian:] Dear and prized co-worker: I am deeply touched by your splendid and highly valued gift. I will continue to pray for your good-health, your happiness and the uninterrupted extension of your historic activities and achievements. Please assure dear Mrs. Schweizer of my special and fervent prayers for her speedy recovery. Her health is so precious to us all. Your true brother, Shoghi LETTER OF 3 MARCH 1937 3 March 1937 I am instructed by our beloved Guardian to inform you of the receipt of your letter of February 21st written on behalf of the Bahá’í Assembly of Rostock, and to ask you to convey to them, and also to our dear friend Mr. Lorenzen, his grateful thanks for the enlarged copy of the photograph of the North German Bahá’í Congress which they have been so kind in sending him. It is indeed a most beautiful and impressive picture, and will be placed very soon in the Mansion of Bahá’u’lláh at Bahjí, where it will be seen by both the Bahá’í and non-Bahá’í visitors. Please, thank very warmly your fellow-members in the Rostock Assembly for this gift, and express to them the Guardian’s hope that, through them, as well as through the united and combined efforts of all North German Bahá’í centers, this year’s conference will be even more successful than the one held last summer, and that the outcome of it will be to open new fields of teaching for the Cause in Northern Germany.
