Shoghi Effendi wishes me to acknowledge the receipt of your letter dated
January 26th 1932 which accompanied a printed copy of his last general letter.
He thanks you both for this as well as for the one hundred copies you are
shipping to him. He is deeply gratified to learn that the friends find it
interesting and worthwhile enough as to make its subject-matter the topic of
their teaching campaign. He sincerely hopes that this will also awaken some of
the friends to the importance of this teaching of the Cause and stimulate them
to make a thorough and deep study of it. For it undoubtedly forms the goal of
the social precepts of the Faith. There is no reason why the Bahá’ís should
not take the lead in advocating such a federation of the world, towards which
the world is driven by forces it cannot control….
