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

Bahai Faith -- Great Britain -- History -- Sources; Shoghi, Effendi, 1897-1957 -- Correspondence
The beloved Guardian has instructed me to write you in his behalf, to
request that information relating to the British Isles and their
activities, contained in the booklet “The Bahá’í Faith” ‘Information
Statistical and Comparative’ be brought up to date as of May 1 1952, and
sent to him here by the first possible air mail post.
One of the features of the Holy Year will be the re-issuance of this
important book; inasmuch as the Holy Year is fast approaching the Guardian
wishes the information as quickly as possible.
Briefly, the information which your N.S.A. is to provide, brought up to
date of May 1, 1952, is as follows:
Incorporated local spiritual assemblies in the British Isles.
Bahá’í Centres in the British Isles, showing, if possible, the division
between local spiritual assemblies, Groups and Isolated Believers.
Any information not immediately available should be handled by telegraph,
but such information as is available should not be delayed for any one or
two delinquents. You can appreciate that if the booklet is to be published
early in the Holy Year, the information should reach the Guardian at a
very early date.
The Guardian sends his loving greetings to the National Assembly and its
devoted members....
