Dear Bahá’í Sister,
Your letters dated Sep. 6th and Nov. 6th 1945 and Jan. 2nd, Feb. 8th and
19th 1946, have been received together with their enclosures, and the
beloved Guardian has instructed me to answer them on his behalf.
He has been delighted to see, through your letter and reports sent by
other Bahá’ís, that the Teaching Conference in Manchester was such a
success, and he feels this marks a turning point in your Six Year Plan.
Now that goal towns have been chosen, the friends must concentrate all
their forces and resources on establishing Assemblies in them as soon as
possible. He feels sure that once the signs of success become evident all
the believers, tired and depressed after so many years of war and
privation, will become vitalised with optimism and enthusiasm and drive
forward unitedly towards the complete victory of their plans.
He was delighted to hear that Miss Townshend and Mr. Lee have arisen as
pioneers, and he wishes you to please assure them of his special prayers
for the success of their devoted labours.
He was also very happy to hear you have found a place to hold your Summer
School; this is such an important Bahá’í activity that even if the
expenses are such as to necessitate its being subsidised by the National
Fund it does not matter.
He advises you to send half of the Russian books in your possession to the
Bahá’í Bureau in Geneva. Mrs. Lynch can distribute them from there, as
required, to other centres.
He feels it would be an excellent means of serving the Cause and enhancing
the prestige of the British Bahá’ís if you can send a delegate to the
Spiritual World Congress to be held in Brussels.
We are sending ... the Haifa News Letter direct from here; thank you for
sending his address. The Guardian suggests if you have not already done
so, that you send the address of the Dutch Bahá’í to Mrs. Lynch, so that
travelling believers can be put in touch with him.
