Bahai Faith -- Great Britain -- History -- Sources; Shoghi, Effendi, 1897-1957 -- Correspondence
The Guardian wishes you to assure your fellow members on the N.S.A. and
through them the friends throughout Great Britain, of his fervent prayers
that throughout the course of this new year they may evince such a unity,
zeal and renewed consecration to their task as to further demonstrate the
strength of their position as a self-supporting and ever-growing national
Bahá’í community....
[From the Guardian:]
Wishing you and your dear co-workers the utmost success in your high and
meritorious endeavours,
Your true and grateful brother,
Shoghi October 1938 (Third Summer School) ASSURE YOU PRAYERS HEARTILY
RECIPROCATE GREETINGS.

Dear Bahá’í Brother,
Your communications written on behalf of the British N.S.A. and dated June
23rd, July 8th and September 15th with their enclosures have all been duly
received and their contents noted with interest and satisfaction by our
beloved Guardian.
Regarding the papers you had enclosed in your last letter relating to the
N.S.A.’s application for incorporation, he has read these with the closest
attention, and has already communicated to you his approval by cable, and
wishes me now to urge your Assembly to proceed with this matter without
delay and to make every effort to have the whole thing completed in the
course of the next few months, preferably before the termination of your
Assembly’s term of office next April....
The Guardian has read with considerable interest Mr. Balyuzi’s booklet on
“Bahá’u’lláh”, and hopes that the two companion essays on the Báb and the
Master on which he is working will be soon completed and ready for
distribution, as he feels they can be of a valuable help to the friends in
their teaching work.
With the renewed assurances of his prayers for the confirmation of your
services, and reciprocating your greetings....
[From the Guardian:]
Dear co-worker,
The energy, loyalty and resourcefulness with which your Assembly is
conducting and extending the manifold activities of the Faith in these
days of stress and trial deserve the highest praise. Your achievements
constitute indeed a landmark in the history of the Faith in that land. I
urge you, with all earnestness and with feelings of abounding gratitude,
to redouble your efforts and to persevere until your highest hopes and
plans in both the spiritual and administrative spheres are realised and
fulfilled. My prayers are always with you.
Shoghi
