Letter of 26 March 1925 |
|
Your interesting letter of March 12th written to our beloved
Guardian together with the draft minutes of the 12th meeting of
your National Spiritual Assembly has been received. The draft
on Haifa for the sum of thirty-three pounds sterling which is the
joint contribution of the English friends for the relief of their
suffering brothers at Nayríz, and enclosed in your letter, has also
been received. This sum has been added to contributions received
from other centres and will be sent by next mail to the National
Spiritual Assembly of Persia. From Persia they shall acknowledge
the receipt of this sum directly and for the present, our Guardian
acknowledges its receipt gratefully and wishes you to kindly
convey his gratitude to all the dear friends who have so kindly
and generously contributed.

Our dear brother, Dr. Esslemont, was not well for some time,
37
but now I am glad to tell you that he is better and we are
expecting him to come out of the hospital to-day.

The prompt and generous contribution of the British friends for the
relief of the sufferers in Nayríz is deeply appreciated and I wish to
offer through you to them all in the name of the victims of that great
catastrophe my deep and grateful thanks. May the All-Bountiful
reward and bless them a hundred fold! The sum of approximately
1000 pounds has been until now collected from various parts of the
Bahá’í world and more is expected. What an admirable and convincing
testimony of the reality of the Bahá’í bond that binds the East with the
West. Regarding the historical compilation suggested by the Persian
friends, I think your plan is suitable and correct. The English N.S.A.
will I trust collect all the data and exercise its discretion and judgment
in collating all the material received from the friends and assemblies
throughout Great Britain, and, after having given it a definite and
final shape, will forward it direct to Persia. I would welcome a copy of
it myself. Assuring you of my gratitude and prayers,
