Letter of 8 December 1947
8 December 1947
Bahá’í Gemeinde Esslingen
Dear Bahá’í Friends:
Your loving greeting to our beloved Guardian, dated Nov. 12th, 1947, was received and he has instructed me to write you on his behalf and thank you for it. 73
He assures you all that your devotion to the Cause of God is very deeply appreciated, and the perseverance you show in its service greatly valued by him.
He will pray for you all in the Holy Tombs, that Bahá’u’lláh may bless, guide and protect you in your service to His Faith…
[From the Guardian:]
May the Spirit of Bahá’u’lláh guide, sustain and protect you in your deeply valued endeavours for the propagation of our glorious Faith, aid you to add to your numbers, to deepen your understanding of its fundamental truths, and promote its vital interests.
Your true and grateful brother,
Shoghi
