Dear Bahá’í Friends:
Your letters dated April 8, 22, 27; May 13, 17, 24; June 7, 10, 23 (two of
this date), 25, 28; July 19, 22, and 30: and August 10th, together with
various enclosures, have been received by our beloved Guardian, and he has
instructed me to answer them on his behalf.
He has already informed you by cable of his views regarding.... He
realises that, of course, it is very difficult for him to renounce his
plan of educating his son ... in England, and the Guardian hopes that the
boy can find a way, either through doing agricultural work or gaining a
scholarship, or through the help his father might himself obtain from
Persia for him, to go on with his studies. But it is obviously out of the
question for your Assembly to shoulder this financial burden.
He already cabled you about the appropriate manner for commemorating the
Centenary of the Báb’s martyrdom, so I will not go into the subject again
here.
The fine spirit of co-operation shown by ... pleased him immensely. He has
since received from her a letter full of joy and devotion to the Cause,
which pleased him greatly....
Now that the Cause is spreading so rapidly throughout the world, the
National Assemblies must be vigilant, and do all they can to protect and
assert its independent status, and to give assistance to isolated or
repressed Assemblies, when they are turned to for help or advice.
He has recently received enthusiastic letters from Mrs. Preston in Kenya
and informed her that when she needs advice or assistance she should turn
to your Assembly, while, of course, keeping in close contact with him as
well.
