In view of the vital importance of this gathering, at which representatives of various religious organisations will be present, and specially as Sir Herbert Samuel has himself expressed the desire that the Cause should be authoritatively and adequately represented there, Shoghi Effendi would urge the British N.S.A. to make every effort to fully avail themselves of this splendid opportunity for giving the Faith in England a fresh and unprecedented impetus. Wishing you complete success in your labours in this connection, and awaiting the news of the progress of the action that you will take in this matter, Yours in His Service, Letter of 26 December 1935 26 December 1935 Dear Mrs. Slade, This letter is to confirm the one I wrote you nearly two weeks ago at the direction of the Guardian regarding the projected World Congress of Faiths to be held in London next summer. As stated in that letter, the Guardian has whole-heartedly accepted the Committee’s invitation, as expressed through both Sir Herbert Samuel and Sir Francis Younghusband, to have the Cause authoritatively represented at the above-mentioned Congress. He now wishes to urge again your N.S.A. to speed up the matter of preparing the address which he has requested Mr. Townshend to prepare for that occasion. He is also urging Mr. Townshend to have the address ready for presentation to the Committee towards the end of next January. The Guardian hopes that the N.S.A. will do its very best to speed up this matter. With his renewed thanks to you and to the friends, Yours in His Service, Letter of 13 March 1936 13 March 1936 Dear Mrs. Slade, The Guardian has just sent you a cable asking you to send him, as soon as you can, two copies of the photograph of the N.S.A. of the British Isles of the year 1935–36 for publication in Volume Six of the “Bahá’í World”. He hopes there will be no delay in forwarding to him these photographs. Thanking you in anticipation, Yours in His Service, Letter of 16 March 1936 16 March 1936 Dear Mrs. Slade, The Guardian has been very pleased to learn, from the report you have submitted for the next issue of the “Bahá’í World” regarding the activities of the Cause in England, that the centre in London has been given by the authorities the status of a place of worship, and that the Movement has been registered as a definite religious community. If there are any documents or any letters you have obtained from the Government in connection with such a registration will you kindly send him reproductions of them as promptly as you can for publication in the next issue of the “Bahá’í World” (Vol. VI). With many thanks and warmest greetings, Yours in His Service, Letter of April 1936 April 1936 The National Teaching Committee of the N.S.A. of the British Isles. Dear Bahá’í Friends,
