[Letter of January 24, 1937]

On behalf of the Guardian … (I) wish to assure you again of his abiding appreciation of the splendid activities in which you are so laboriously and so devotedly engaged for the spread and establishment of the Cause in Japan. Do not feel discouraged at the meagerness of the results you now obtain. The Master’s promises regarding the share you are destined to contribute towards the spread of the Faith in the Far East will sooner or later be completely realized. No matter how dark the present may appear, you should feel nevertheless confident that the distant future is immeasurably bright. Strive, therefore, with a joyful radiant and confident heart to hasten the fulfillment of ‘Abdu’l-Bahá’s glorious promises. Your reward is unimaginably great, and the success that awaits your labours certain.
Regarding your visit to Fujita’s mother 1 , the Guardian feels rejoiced and thankful for all the kindness and assistance you have so lovingly extended to her, and would certainly approve of your wish to continue helping her in every way you can…
(signed by H. Rabbani)
(in the Guardian’s handwriting)
With the assurance of my deepfelt and abiding appreciation of your wholehearted and touching response to my request 2 , and wishing you success and happiness from the depths of my heart.
Your true and grateful brother, Shoghi
