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

The Guardian also hopes that you will give ... every encouragement. She is
a fine soul, and no doubt, if she had time devoted to her, would soon
develop into an assured and active believer. You should encourage her also
to make every effort to be present at the Africa Conference, and in the
meantime to correspond with believers abroad, and do her best to teach the
Cause there in spite of her handicaps.
The Guardian feels that the next step in Bahá’í literature might well be
the publication of a more comprehensive work in Luganda and Swahili.
However, he would like the Africa Committee to undertake pamphlets in
other languages as well; let him know what languages the committee
proposes.
He attaches, as you know, the greatest importance to the work of your
committee and is tremendously impressed by the progress being made in
Africa, and by the capacity, tenacity and enthusiasm the British Africa
Committee is showing in handling its share of this extremely important
campaign. His prayers are frequently offered on your behalf.
[From the Guardian:]
May the Almighty whose Cause you serve with such devotion, ability and
faithfulness, reward you abundantly for your labours, guide you and
sustain you and assist you to enrich continually the record of your
meritorious service.
Your true brother,
Shoghi

Dear Bahá’í Brother,
Our beloved Guardian has instructed me to write you the following:
He wishes the British National Assembly to please do all they can to watch
over the two young sons of our dear friends, Mr. and Mrs. ..., in view of
the fact that the youngest boy is little more than a child, he needs
particularly to have his spiritual welfare safeguarded through as much
contact as possible with believers.
The wonderful services this devoted and self-sacrificing father and mother
are rendering the Faith have forced them to be separated from their
children, and hence the Guardian requests your Assembly to please take
special care of the boys.
We are all very happy to have ... here, and they have brought most
heartening reports of the progress of the work in Africa with them....
