July 26th, 1934.
Dear Miss Brooks,
I am directed by the Guardian to acknowledge the receipt of your letter of
June 6th, written on behalf on the N.S.A. of the Baha'is of Australia and
New-Zealand, and to convey to you, and to your collaborators on that
Assembly his grateful appreciation of the stupendous efforts you have
unanimously exerted for making your first Convention such a sucessful and
promising meeting. Your collective and continued sacrifices, as well as
the assistance and guidance of Baha'u'llah have surely been responsible
for this historic triumph which you have been able to achieve in the
administrative field of the Cause--a triumph which will inevitably bring
about a renewed and deeper spiritual consciousness to all the believers in
these far-off lands.
Shoghi Effendi is praying from the very depths of his heart for your
guidance and assistance, and hopes that as a result your National Assembly
will be soon enabled to take such steps as would enable it to extend and
to further consolidate its national as well as international activities.
With warm greetings to you and to all the friends in Adelaide,
Yours in His Service,
H. Rabbani.
[From the Guardian:]
Dear and valued co-worker:
My heart is filled with joy and gratitude as a result of the perusal of
your letter. I long to be in close and constant touch with your
newly-formed national assembly--the first of your administrative activities
and the herald of one of the most fruitful and stirring periods of the
history of the Faith in that promising continent. I will be so glad to
receive copies of the minutes of your gatherings, and urge you to keep in
close touch with your sister assemblies throughout the Baha'i world. I
will assuredly pray for you and your dear and devoted collaborators from
the depths of my heart.
Your true brother,
Shoghi.
