Shoghi Effendi wishes me to acknowledge the receipt
of your letter dated 11–9-26. He was most gratified to learn
that the Cause is becoming more and more known and appreciated
by the people in New Zealand. This is as important as
the actual increase of the number of the friends, for it means
that the principles are gradually permeating the thoughts of
the people and making them more ready and receptive to the
full identification of their beliefs with the precepts of the
Cause.

Shoghi Effendi wishes me to assure you of his prayers
for you as well as for the other friends in New Zealand. He
hopes that they will increase both in number as well as in
spiritual understanding and insight. The reports that we occasionally
receive from there are most encouraging and hopeful.
It seems that the people there due to their breadth of mind
and lack of traditional draw-backs show better prospect than
many other places.

Your letter rejoiced my heart. I request you to persevere
and renew your splendid efforts for the consolidation of
the work already achieved. I have great hopes in the ‘Herald
of the South’ and trust that the Editor will be guided and
24
strengthened in his noble undertaking. I shall be obliged if
you send me copies of any newspapers that may publish anything
on the Cause as I am preparing a collection of them in
the Holy Land. Please assure the friends in New-Zealand of
my continued prayers at the holy Shrines for the success of
their pioneer work.
