     Shoghi Effendi has read with much pleasure your welcome 
message of the 23rd of May last, and has learned with deep satisfaction 
of the success of the meeting you have held on the occasion 
of the anniversary of Báb’s Declaration.  He feels, indeed, so happy 
to realize how unitedly and harmoniously your community is 
discharging its activities, and is certain that, as years go by, it will 
increasingly manifest a zeal and ardour that will enable it to 
achieve accomplishments that will not only be unique but which 
will have far-reaching effects upon the progress of the Cause 
throughout Germany.

     In his moments of meditation and prayers he will specially 
remember you, and will ask Bahá’u’lláh to continue pouring His

blessings upon you all, that your community may daily grow in 
strength, unity and fervour.

     I deeply appreciate your most welcome message, and wish to 
assure you of my deepfelt gratitude for the constancy and zeal which 
characterize your labours in the Divine Vineyard.  I am following 
the progress of your activities with the utmost interest and joy, and 
feel confident that the blessings of the Beloved, whom you serve with 
such ardour, steadfastness and loyalty will guide, enrich and reinforce 
your historic work for the propagation of His glorious and 
invincible Faith.  Persevere in your high endeavours and rest 
confident.
