Letter of 26 April 1928

26 April 1928

To an individual believer

My dear ...,
I am instructed by Shoghi Effendi to thank you for your letter of the 9th instant.
He was very much touched by your letter so full of hope, of faith and encouragement and he does not doubt for a moment that the Bahá’í youth of today, they are the men upon whom shall fall one of the happiest and yet one of the most difficult duties that the Cause requires of us, and it is in them that he lays his greatest hope for the future.
That is why the assurance of your hope to do your part is so deeply appreciated and he would be always glad to co-operate with you.
He is very glad to learn of the possibility of your visit to Haifa in the near future, and he wishes me to extend to you a most hearty welcome. It will be a pleasure to him to hear from you and of your doings and he trusts, that in the near future, you will render valuable and permanent services to a Cause that is so near and dear to your heart.

Assuring you always of his good wishes and prayers and with happy greetings for the Ridván festivals,

Sincerely yours,

Soheil Afnan

Shoghi
