Dear Baha'i Sister,
Your welcome letter of the 13th of December, together with the
accompanying message of December 11th addressed to the Guardian by "The
General Purposes and Business Committee" of the N.S.A. have all been duly
received and deeply appreciated by him.
He has also received and read with great care and interest the enclosed
copy of the minutes of the above-mentioned committee, and was pleased to
realize that, despite the various impediments standing in the way of your
Assembly, that body is functioning smoothly and with one accord. He hopes
that the various steps taken by your Committee in connection with the
publication of the "Herald of the South" will all materialize and meet
with success.
May I also in closing express the Guardian's appreciation of your efforts
in connection with the management and direction of this monthly review,
and also with regard to your activities in the field of teaching.
With his loving greetings to you and to your co-workers in the "Herald of
the South" Committee, and with the assurance of his prayers for you all.
Yours in His Service,
H. Rabbani.
[From the Guardian:]
Dear and valued co-workers:
The repeated evidences of the strenuous efforts exerted by the believers
in Australia and New-Zealand for the spread of the Cause and the rise and
consolidation of its institutions have brought me intense joy and excited
my deepest admiration. I urge them to persevere, to remain united, not to
relax in their determination, and to strive with all their might to extend
the scope of their meritorious activities. I will continue to pray for
them from the bottom of my heart.
Your true brother,
Shoghi.
