Letter of 3 May 1956

3 May 1956

To Allan F. Raynor1

Dear Bahá’í Brother:
Your letter of January 25th has been received by the beloved Guardian, and he has instructed me to answer you on his behalf....
He was very happy to have you here as his guest and as a member of the Canadian National Assembly. As you know, he cherishes bright hopes for the future of the work in Canada, and is proud of the achievements of the Canadian National Spiritual Assembly to date, a young but virile body.
He hopes that you have entirely recovered from the effects of the cold you had when you were here; and he sends you and your dear family his loving greetings and his appreciation of your tireless services.

With warm Bahá’í love,

R. Rabbani

[From the Guardian:]

May the Almighty bless your high endeavours, guide your steps, and aid you to promote the vital interests of His Faith and of its institutions,

Your true brother,

Shoghi
