[From the Guardian:]
I wish to urge you to take as soon as you possibly can, the necessary and
most effective steps to ensure the translation of Dr. Esslemont's book
into Urdu and Gujrati. I have already expressed the desirability to have
these translations to a number of pilgrims, but so far my hopes have not
materialized. This book has already been translated and printed into eight
different languages, the latest being Russian, Hebrew and Chinese. The
Persian, the Albanian, the Bulgarian, the French and the Swedish versions
will be printed this year. I wish you to do all in your power to ensure
the speedy and correct translation of this book into these two languages,
and if necessary to hire the services of a competent non-Baha'i
translator. I shall be only too pleased to assist financially both with
regard to their translation and publication. May the Beloved guide and
assist you in this vital and important task.
