Translation of Baha’u’llah & the New Era |
I wish to urge you to take as soon as you possibly can,
the necessary and most effective steps to ensure the translation
34
of Dr. Esslemont’s book into Urdu and Gujrati. I
have already expressed the desirability to have these translations
to a number of pilgrims, but so far my hopes have
not materialized. This book has already been translated
and printed into eight different languages, the latest being
Russian, Hebrew and Chinese. The Persian, the Albanian,
the Bulgarian, the French and the Swedish versions will be
printed this year. I wish you to do all in your power to
ensure the speedy and correct translation of this book into
these two languages, and if necessary to hire the services of
a competent non-Baha’i translator. I shall be only too
pleased to assist financially both with regard to their translation
and publication. May the Beloved guide and assist
you in this vital and important task.
