[Letter of November 1, 1934]

The gratifying news of your projected trip to Japan has particularly strengthened (the Guardian’s) hopes for the future expansion of your labours in that country. He trusts that on your return to that land you will find the friends more eager and ready than ever to carry on the teaching work which ever since your departure to the States seems to have been progressing slowly.
The Guardian will fervently pray for the success of your teaching trip, and he hopes that its results will be such as to encourage you to prolong your stay in Japan until a strong, active and well-united community of believers has been duly established. Your patient, sustained and selfless efforts in this connection, he is convinced, are bound to produce satisfactory and abiding results.
(signed by H. Rabbani) 63
(in the Guardian’s handwriting)
Dearly beloved co-worker:
I wish to add a few words in person in order to reaffirm my deep sense of gratitude to you for all that you have achieved and for your determination to carry on the work that you have so many years so splendidly initiated. I trust and pray that you may be fully guided and assisted to fulfill your heart’s dearest wish.
Your true brother, Shoghi
(November 1, 1934)
