Letter of 10 September 1932
10 September 1932
Dear Bahá’í Friends,
Shoghi Effendi wishes me to acknowledge the receipt of your letter dated August 20th, 1932 and to extend to you all the expression of his heartfelt appreciation and thanks.
The news of your successful “Sommerwoche” greatly comforted his aching heart. He hopes that such important gatherings will serve to deepen the understanding of the friends and inspire them with renewed faith and courage to consolidate the work already inaugurated through the precious efforts of our German friends.
Shoghi Effendi wishes you to persevere in your services and be confident in God’s unfailing help. The Master has given us the assurance that He will bless our efforts and will not leave us alone and unaided.
With the renewed assurance of Shoghi Effendi’s best wishes and of his fervent prayers on behalf of every one of you….
[From the Guardian:]
Dear co-workers:
I cannot refrain from adding a few words in person as a token of my admiration for the manner in which you are conducting your activities for the spread of the Cause. You are often in my thoughts and are the object of my fervent and loving prayers. The work you perform in summer 44 should be extended, its influence must spread, its attendance increase, and its foundations be strengthened. May the Beloved guide and sustain your high endeavours,
Your true brother,
Shoghi
