Shoghi Effendi was deeply gratified to learn of the important steps you
have taken for the translation and publication of Dr. Esslemont's book
into Hindi. He has greatly appreciated the assistance of Dr. Kaushal
Kishore, and sincerely trusts that through your combined efforts the work
will be soon completed and will be ready for circulation. In a recent
communication to the Guardian, our devoted friend Siyyid, Mustafa Rumi,
has given the news of the publication of this same book in Burmese. It is
hoped that this will serve to encourage our Indian believers to follow his
example.
[From the Guardian:]
I am so pleased and grateful to you for your incessant efforts in
connexion with the translation and publication of the 'New Era', and I am
deeply gratified to learn of the progress already achieved. I will
continue to pray for the speedy realization of your hopes, plans and
wishes in the service of this glorious Faith.
