Letter of 24 July 1946

24 July 1946

To an individual believer

Dear Bahá’í Sister:
Your letter dated September 8th was most welcome, and the beloved Guardian assures you he would have answered you sooner only he has been so very busy this past year.
He followed your and your dear husband’s South American tour with great interest, and was delighted at the number of centres you were able to visit; your trip will surely produce good results in the teaching field, and stimulate the pioneers and local believers to redouble their efforts.
You should never feel discouraged, for your devoted and ceaseless services are much appreciated, and have been of great help to the work in many places.
Now that Canada is so soon to have its own National Assembly, he urges you and your dear husband to concentrate your efforts on strengthening and multiplying the Canadian Assemblies. This is of the utmost importance, as a preparation for this historic step so soon to take place.

Assuring you of his loving prayers on your behalf and for the success of your labours,

Yours with warm Bahá’í love,

R. Rabbani

[From the Guardian:]

Assuring you of my heartfelt appreciation of your splendid services to our beloved Faith, and of my loving and ardent prayers that you and your dear husband may be enabled to enrich the record of your notable services, and to fulfil every desire you cherish for the promotion of the Cause and its institutions,

Your true and grateful brother,

Shoghi
