The Guardian wishes me to acknowledge the receipt of your letter dated
September 14th 1932 expressing your words of sympathy for the passing away
of the Greatest Holy Leaf.
She was such a source of joy, hope and inspiration to those who met her
that not only Shoghi Effendi but every single Baha'i pilgrim will miss her
terribly. To the lady pilgrims it was a real treat to go and have tea with
her in the afternoons. She was always so radiantly hopeful and tried to
persuade others that sorrows are passing and have to be disregarded. The
only consolation of Shoghi Effendi is that she has been freed from the
physical weakness that during these last years was confining her to her
room for most of the time. He is sure that in the realm in which she now
is she is thinking of her friends and asking for them divine guidance and
help.
