Letter of 20 May 1952

20 May 1952

To an individual believer

Dear Bahá’í Brother:
Your letter of May 2nd has been received, and the beloved Guardian has instructed me to answer you on his behalf.
The Guardian has cabled the Canadian National Assembly regarding the Beaulac Summer School,1 and feels sure that they will come as a Body to a wise decision....
However, the most important thing is that the Bahá’í Summer Schools should serve the maximum number of friends in as efficient and economic a way as possible. Decisions regarding such institutions must be referred to the National Body; and, as you are a member of that Body, he feels sure that you will add your deliberations to those of your fellow-members, and come to the right decision.
You and your dear wife’s services to the Cause are very deeply appreciated, you may be sure.

With Bahá’í love,

R. Rabbani

[From the Guardian:]

May the Beloved bless, guide and sustain you always, aid you to promote, at all times, the vital interests of His Faith, and lend a great impetus to the consolidation of its institutions,

Your true brother,

Shoghi
