Your loving letter of February 14th has been received by the beloved
Guardian, and he has asked me to acknowledge it on his behalf.
|
The contribution which you have made to the Shrine of the Báb is very
greatly appreciated. Receipt is enclosed herewith.
|
The work on the dome of the Shrine is going forward quite satisfactorily.
The brim of the dome has been finished. As additional units of the
building are completed, it adds to the stateliness of the entire structure,
and permits one to realize how beautiful it is going to be.
|
The Guardian very deeply appreciates the wonderful work you are
doing in connection with the spread of the Faith.
|
The Eskimo booklet which you submitted for his approval he feels
should be submitted to the National Spiritual Assembly of the Bahá’ís of
the United States for their review. The reason for this is that they are
closely in touch with the teaching work, and therefore well qualified to
decide just what should and what should not be included in such a
pamphlet.
|
He hopes you and Frances Wells will work very closely with the
National Spiritual Assembly in connection with this important service.
|
The Guardian is extremely anxious that the Eskimos be brought into
the Faith. He values very highly indeed the very wonderful services
rendered by Mrs. Wells. He feels that she has sacrificed very deeply in
order to carry the light of guidance to the seeking peoples of the world,
particularly in Alaska, and now with the Eskimos. You may be sure the
Guardian will pray for her spiritual success and her spiritual happiness.
|
The Guardian will likewise be very happy to pray for Mrs. Hadley
52
Ferguson of Fairbanks, Mr. and Mrs. Walter Greene, Mr. and Mrs. L.E.
Pirkey, Mrs. Perry Bane, and Dr. Saul Mackoff.
|
The Guardian has communicated with the National Spiritual Assembly
with regard to the efforts being made by yourself and Mrs. Wells as well
as others in connection with the introduction of the Faith amongst the
Eskimos, asking them to render every possible assistance to this most
important work. It is impossible to let you know how important the
Guardian feels the introduction of the Faith amongst the Eskimos is at this
particular time.
|
With warm Bahá’í greetings,
Leroy Ioas
Assistant Secretary
|
P.S.—The draft of your pamphlet is being sent direct to the National
Spiritual Assembly.
