He sincerely hopes that as a result of her (Mrs. Kehler's) trip the Cause
will make a great progress in India and many souls will be drawn into the
Cause. It was surely very nice and wise on the part of the National
Assembly to appoint Mr. Pritam Singh to travel with her and help her make

and the New Era to be Translated into Urdu & Hindi
In a previous letter I informed you on behalf of Shoghi Effendi that as we

translation of the book into Urdu. This service will, I am sure, be an
added blessing to the masses of India, whom you are striving so devotedly
and energetically to arouse and teach. May it prove a prelude to an
intensive and fruitful teaching campaign that shall bring in its wake
enlightenment, peace and hope to the distracted multitudes of that
agitated country.
