The Unfolding Destiny of the British Bahá'í Community : the Messages from the Guardian of the Bahá'í Faith to the Bahá'ís of the British Isles
Shoghi, Effendi
Bahai Faith -- Great Britain -- History -- Sources; Shoghi, Effendi, 1897-1957 -- Correspondence
Entirely aside from any additional literature it might be possible to get
out in Hausa and Swahili he feels your objective must be to print at least
a pamphlet in three languages other than those Philip Hainsworth has
tackled. It must be borne in mind that printing in new languages kills two
birds with one stone—not only does it enable the Faith to reach new
elements, but it also enriches our literature and is excellent as a means
of calling the attention of the public to the universality of our Cause
and the extent of our world-wide activities!
He will be delighted to receive the reports regarding the progress of the
British Bahá’ís’ first overseas mission.
P.S. Regarding expenditures: the Guardian feels that the greatest effort
should be made to curtail everything that is not essential; this is the
primary responsibility of the N.S.A. The Guardian will be very pleased to
receive copies of the reports of the Africa and Consolidation Committees
and was pleased to read the first two reports.

Dear Bahá’í Brother:
Under separate cover the Guardian is mailing two enlargements of the
Shrine. He would like these to be shown as widely as possible to the
friends and then hung in the London Bahá’í Centre.
He has sent to America the negative of one of these enlargements with
instructions that the friends can order copies for themselves. This
applies to the British friends too, and if copies are desired you can
enquire from the American N.S.A. what they cost etc.
He feels sure all the believers will be happy to see how beautiful the
finished arcade is....
P.S. Please cable when you receive these two photos.

Dear Bahá’í Brother,
Some time ago I wrote you on behalf of the Guardian giving you the
following information, but as I have heard a letter to Mr. Holley posted
at the same time has not been received, I fear yours too may have been
lost.
