Dear Miss Brooks,
I am instructed by our beloved Guardian to acknowledge with deepest thanks
the receipt of your letter of March 30th written on behalf of the N.S.A.
of Australia and New-Zealand.
He is rejoiced to learn of the projected formation of a Spiritual Assembly
in Perth, and hopes that by the time this letter reaches you the assembly
will have been duly constituted and will be functioning with the utmost
unity, efficiency and vigour.
In this connection he wishes me to bring to your Assembly's attention the
necessity of their taking the necessary steps for the incorporation of the
N.S.A.. This step, he feels, is of a vital importance to the further
development of your Assembly, and will no doubt give it more stability and
an added influence, specially in the eyes of the general public.
The Guardian would also advise that the local assemblies take a similar
step, and obtain official recognition from the authorities. In case the
Auckland assembly has been registered in the government, will you be so
kind as to send him photostatic reproductions of any registration papers
or documents that the Auckland friends may have obtained from the
authorities, as he wishes to have them published in the next "Baha'i
World".
As regards the photograph of your N.S.A; the Guardian wishes me to inform
you that in going over the manuscript of the "Baha'i World", which was
sent to him from the States, he found your Assembly's picture already
incorporated in it. The manuscript has now been sent back to America and
is awaiting publication.
With loving Baha'i greetings,
Yours in His Service,
H. Rabbani.
[From the Guardian:]
Dear and valued co-worker:
The incessant efforts so devotedly exerted by the members of your
distinguished assembly are assets that I greatly value and of which I am
truly proud. I will fervently pray for the extension of your activities
and the fulfilment of your dearest hopes. Rest assured and persevere.
Your true and grateful brother,
Shoghi.
