[From the Guardian:]
The detailed report I have recently received from the tried and faithful
servant of Baha'u'llah, Aqa Syed Mustapha, regarding the progress of your
labours in those remote regions of the world has filled my heart with hope
and gladness, and has served to fortify the ties of loving fellowship that
bind our hearts together in the service of His Cause.
I have read and re-read the account of your activities with profound
interest, and have been deeply touched to realize how constantly and
fervently you are carrying on the work entrusted to your charge. May His
Spirit guide you, sustain you and protect you in all your endeavours, and
make of you the vanguard of His Host that shall conquer the world.
I shall await the joyful news of the expansion of your work, the
establishment of your Magazine, the consolidation of your Assemblies, the
increase of your numbers, with keen interest, and wish to assure you again
and again of my readiness and desire to help you and serve you in your
efforts to promote the Cause in even the uttermost corners of the world.
By day and by night, in my hours of prayer and meditation, I tenderly
remember every one of you, and pray from the bottom of my heart, for your
spiritual happiness, material prosperity, and ultimate success in your
sacred mission in this world.
I shall be most pleased to receive frequent and direct letters from every
Baha'i locality in Burma, and will not fail to do all I can to stimulate
your work, and extend your activities throughout that distant province.
May the day be not far distant when the few and ardent followers of the
Faith in that land, will have increased a hundred-fold, and the promises
of our beloved Abdu'l-Baha strikingly and speedily fulfilled.
