Letter of 30 July 1934 |
|
Your letter of June 19th written on your behalf by Miss
Köstlin has been received, and its contents as well as the
accompanying documents and notes have been carefully
read by the Guardian. He wishes me to thank you for them
59
all, and to convey to you his deepfelt appreciation of your
painstaking labours for the consolidation of the
administration in your community. It gives him real
pleasure to learn of the spirit with which you are toiling for
the attainment of this supreme objective, and he is fervently
praying for your guidance and assistance that you may
speedily and effectively attain the goal of your heart’s desire.

In view of the fact that there are no competent and fully
reliable persons here to undertake for him any translations
from German, the Guardian would prefer that henceforth
you should send him a translation of the minutes of your
meetings into English, so that he may be in a position to
read them without any difficulty. He fully realizes the
difficulties which such a rendering would entail, and for this
he wishes to assure you of his abiding appreciation and of
his deepfelt gratitude.

In closing may I also express his hope for the success of
your next summer school. From various communications
and reports recently received from the friends, he gathers
that a large number of believers both from Germany and
abroad are planning to attend the summer classes. May such
a gathering prove to be the right medium for bringing the
German believers closer than ever, and for fostering among
them the spirit of initiative, of service and of selfless and
wholehearted cooperation in the path of service to the
Faith….

The message you have sent me is indeed most welcome. It
has filled my heart with joy and thanksgiving. I am
continually urging the friends and pilgrims to visit the
German Bahá’í centres and particularly the Esslingen
Summer School, as I attach the greatest importance to this
60
vital national institution. I will continue to pray for your
success from the depths of my heart.
