Letter of 19 June 1947
19 June 1947
Dear Bahá’í Friends:
Your loving message, sent to our beloved Guardian on the occasion of the celebration of his twenty-five years of Guardianship, reached him and touched him very much indeed. 122
He feels a special affection for the Esslingen Community, as it is not only one of the oldest ones in Germany but he associates it with the important Summer School held in its neighbourhood.
Your love for and devotion to our glorious Faith are greatly appreciated, and the many services that members of your Community have rendered, and are rendering it, deeply valued.
He assures you all he will pray for the success of your labours in the Holy Shrines, and that Bahá’u’lláh may increase your numbers and richly bless you all….
[From the Guardian:]
May the Beloved bless your efforts, guide your steps, remove every obstacle that impedes the growth of your Community, and assist you to proclaim the truths of His Faith and consolidate its institutions,
Your true and grateful brother,
Shoghi
