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

This morning a cablegram was communicated by the Greatest Holy Leaf to Mr.
Roy Wilhelm in New York, instructing the committee in charge of the
desired article to hasten its despatch. This article should be handed
towards the end of July. The time is short. If the American friends have
already sent that article, I mean if it is on the way, and we receive it
in time, we shall immediately forward it to our dear Shoghi Effendi for
his approval and then mail it to you. If it, however, arrives late, we
will directly mail it to you so that you may modify it if necessary and
hand it over to the Secretary of the Conference. In the latter case, it is
not necessary to submit it to Shoghi Effendi for his approval, for he
authorises you, the members of the National Spiritual Assembly to make any
correction which you think advisable.
Shoghi Effendi has also instructed me to enclose a cheque for thirty
pounds in this letter as contribution towards the Conference. If the
English friends are to add something to this sum and offer it to the
Conference, it will be highly appreciated by Shoghi Effendi.
The cheque is drawn by the Anglo-Palestine Bank at Haifa on the Jewish
Colonial Trust, London, payable to your order. It is dated June 15th and
No. F077834/34224. Today we received the answer to our cablegram to Mr.
Wilhelm, stating that the article was mailed on the 11th, both to Haifa
and England and that Mr. Mills would gladly act at the Conference.
As we understand Mr. Mountfort Mills may go from America to England at the
time of the Conference. Shoghi Effendi will be very glad, if Mr. Mills
read the Paper. This desire of Shoghi Effendi was also mentioned in
to-day’s cablegram which was communicated to Mr. Wilhelm.
Through the many cablegrams and letters which have arrived from different
centres of the Cause, promising the maintenance of harmony, union and love
among the dear friends, the grief and sorrow of our beloved Guardian has
been greatly lightened and so we have great hope that when the hot season
of the Holy Land is over, we will have the pleasure and joy of his return.
The members of the Holy Family are all sending you and your dear
co-workers their tender love and assure you of their ardent prayers at the
Holy Shrines in your behalf. They are always awaiting heart-refreshing
glad tidings from you. My humble greeting and warm love to yourself and
the dear friends too.
Your humble brother and co-worker in His service,
