Letter of 12 April 1942

12 April 1942

To an individual believer

Dear Bahá’í Sister:
Your letter of January 1st was received by the Guardian, and I have been instructed by him to answer you.
He is delighted to hear of your pioneer activities, and hopes that you will meet with great success and be enabled to crown your part of the Seven Year Plan with a notable victory for that Province in the form of a Spiritual Assembly!
Though it is premature to try and endeavour to foresee on what basis various nations would be represented on any international council, or in any international form of government, it is clear that from the Bahá’í standpoint it could only be carried out on a basis of true justice; and justice does not imply one race having a preponderating vote over some other race’s representatives, and thus being in a position to dominate them.
The Guardian will pray for those friends whom you have mentioned in your letter, as well as for you, that your work—of such great importance at this time—may be richly blessed by Bahá’u’lláh.

With Bahá’í love,

Yours in His service,

R. Rabbani

[From the Guardian:]

May the Beloved of our hearts guide and bless you always, remove every obstacle from your path, and enable you to promote, in a most effective manner, the life-giving principles of our glorious Faith,

Your true brother,

Shoghi
