As there is a pilgrim leaving, he is taking the precaution of having this mailed in Europe. I hope it reaches you in time for the Convention.... Letter of 24 April 1954 24 April 1954 Dear Bahá’í Friends: The beloved Guardian has directed me to write you concerning the Island of Malta. He attaches great importance to this Island, and wishes your Assembly to see that the teaching work there progresses as rapidly and efficiently as possible. At the present time, it has again become virgin, according to our records. Do you know if Miss Townshend intends to return? If not, your Assembly should undertake to fill the post just as quickly as possible, with someone else. As you have become aware through the Guardian’s Convention Message, he is very happy with the result of the first year of the Ten-Year Crusade. He is hoping that the second year will witness even more glorious victories, and this time on the home front, as well as in foreign fields. He would appreciate a report of the plans for Malta, as soon as possible. In order to save him work, it is suggested it be sent to me. (Mr. L. Ioas) The Guardian sends you his loving greetings....
