Letter of 14 September 1955

14 September 1955

To the New Territories Committee

Dear Bahá’í Sister:
Your loving letter of August 21st came duly to hand.
In the meantime the Guardian had cabled to the Bonds1 that their return to Franklin was essential, and that his fervent prayers would accompany them.
I take it there is no further comment to be made concerning the matter, as it has been decided and determined by the Guardian.
We hope that the Bonds will have no difficulty in carrying out the Guardian’s wishes in the matter. Surely with his prayers, every obstacle will be removed from their path.

With loving Bahá’í greetings, I am,

Faithfully yours,

Leroy Ioas
1.Jameson Bond—first pioneer to the Canadian Arctic (District of Keewatin 1950–53, District of Franklin with Mrs. Gale Bond, 1953–63). They were named Knights of Bahá’u’lláh for Franklin. Jameson served on the National Spiritual Assembly of the Bahá’ís of Canada 1967–82.  [ Back To Reference]
