2nd. The Guardian does not remember to whom Chapter CXLIII refers. He gathered the quotations for the Gleanings from innumerable individual tablets and writings, and did not keep a record of all of them; and has not at present time to go back over this material and find out. He does not consider it important to whom it refers. 3rd. On Page 312, the words “I feign would hope” are merely a very elevated style of English for saying “I hope”. This tablet has nothing to do with Muḥammad-‘Alí. The Guardian asks you to please convey his love to all the members of your dear family, as well as to dear Mrs. Benke. He very much appreciates the translation you have made of the Gleanings, and hopes that it will soon be in the hands of all the believers, as it is an extremely important volume for acquiring a deeper understanding of the Faith, and greatly enriches the literature available in the German language. LETTER OF 10 FEBRUARY 1951 10 February 1951 He feels that you should not ask the believers not to elect you to the Spiritual Assembly during the coming year. However, you might ask your fellow-members not to elect you as Chairman or as an officer of the Spiritual Assembly, if you are reelected to that body. This will lighten your work, and enable you, if you do not feel well enough, to omit attending some of the meetings; but your presence on the Assembly, if elected to it, the Guardian feels is important, because of your long experience in the Faith and your loyalty and tact.... Your long and devoted services to the Faith are very deeply valued; and he feels you have every reason to be happy as you look about you and see the great progress made in Germany, and the fact that the believers there are more loyal, more active and more numerous than ever before. LETTER OF 5 APRIL 1951 5 April 1951 To the Believers who were present on World Youth Day held at Heidelberg. Dear Bahá’í Friends: Your message of March 25th has been received by our beloved Guardian; and he was most happy to know that so many of the Bahá’ís were present on this occasion. He urges you all to concentrate your time and energies on spreading the Cause, and not to become distracted by the extremely confused condition of the world and the acuteness of the problems facing humanity. There is only one answer to these problems, and that is the Message of Bahá’u’lláh; and we, His followers, are the ones who alone can carry this Message to our fellow-men before it is too late. You may be sure he will remember you all in his prayers in the Holy Shrines, and supplicate for the rapid expansion of the Cause in Germany and the consolidation of its administrative institutions.... [From the Guardian:] May the Almighty bless, guide and sustain you always, remove every obstacle from your path, and enable you to promote, at all times, the vital interests of its nascent institutions, Your true brother, Shoghi LETTER OF 22 APRIL 1951 22 April 1951
