It is always a source of immeasurable joy and encouragement to our dear
Guardian to learn of your increasing activities in serving our dear Cause
and also of the growing measure of success which you are meeting with in
all your endeavours. The unity of the friends in India and Burma, the
spread of the Cause in that vast country and especially among the real
natives, intelligent connections with the universities and schools and the
direction of the thoughts of the students to a proper understanding of the
Cause and its great mission on earth, will not only be real accomplishment
on the part of our dear fellow-workers but will relieve to a very large
extent our dear Guardian of the stupendous task that he shoulders, and
will give him the deepest joy and confidence. We earnestly trust that
through the help of our dear Master from on high all your efforts will be
crowned with success.
Shoghi Effendi is always interested to hear from you on the work in India
and to help you in every possible way.
You are, I am sure, in touch with Mr. Horace Holley in America and you
would be interested to know that they are publishing soon a Baha'i Year
Book which will be of widespread interest not only to the Baha'is but also
to many interested men and women in our dear Cause.
Mrs. Stannard is very successful in her work in Geneva and she has already
started a fine center there. She is able to make many connections with
influential men and learned people and this is in itself a great work.
[From the Guardian:]
I am very pleased and gratified to learn of your persistent efforts in
advancing and consolidating the Cause. The establishment of a Central
Office in Delhi is a great step forward and I await very eagerly the first
issue of the publication of the National Spiritual Assembly of India &
Burma. The Burmese friends are very satisfied and pleased with the
consideration shown and the activity displayed by your Assembly and my
prayer is that the relations of the National Body with the local
Assemblies will grow firmer everyday. I will specially remember the
friends who are promoting the Cause among the Qadiyani community whenever
I visit the Shrines. I wish them the fullest success.
