Shoghi Effendi hopes very much that Miss Pinchon’s book will prove a “good-seller” in England also. Perhaps in being less scholarly it might prove more popular and widely read.... [From the Guardian:] My very dear and valued co-worker: Pressure of cares and anxieties, most of them sudden and unforeseen, has caused the delay in mailing this letter to you. Although immersed in an ocean of preoccupations and work, I can always find the time to turn my heart in prayer at the Holy Shrines and supplicate for you as well as for your fellow-workers in that land the Beloved’s unfailing Guidance, sustaining strength and imperishable blessings.

SHOGHI Letter of 6 December 1928 6 December 1928(19) To the beloved of the Lord and the handmaids of the Merciful throughout the West. Dearly-beloved brothers and sisters in ‘Abdu’l-Bahá, Events of a startling character and of the utmost significance to the Faith of Bahá’u’lláh, have recently transpired throughout the Near and Middle East in such rapid succession, that I feel moved to write about them to those who, in distant lands and with eager hearts, are waiting to witness the fulfilment of the prophecies of Bahá’u’lláh. You will, I am certain, rejoice with me to learn that the quickening forces of internal reform are swiftly awakening from their age-long slumber of negligence those lands which, trodden by the feet of Bahá’u’lláh and wherein are enshrined the memorable scenes of His birth, His ministry, His exiles, His banishments, His suffering and His ascension, are destined in the fullness of time to play a pre-eminent rôle in the regeneration of the East—nay of all mankind.
