He was very glad to hear of the activities of Miss Martha Root in India
and hopes that they will all bear some wonderful fruits for the progress
of the Cause in India. It is sure that with the existence of the present
political unrest in that country few are ready to pay any attention to
religious matters, but among the very intelligent people there are
undoubtedly people whose vision extends further than the present
difficulties and desire a spiritual rebirth for that much divided and
troubled nation. To these the Baha'i teachings should undoubtedly present
a much desired reform movement. Anyhow Shoghi Effendi hopes that with the
help of Miss Root you have been able to approach such eminent persons and
have sown in their heart the seed of faith.
