Letter of 16 September 1956

16 September 1956

To Ernest V. Harrison1

Dear Bahá’í Brother:
The beloved Guardian has received your letter of August 11th, and has instructed me to answer you on his behalf.
He wants you to know he deeply appreciates your services and your example as an old Bahá’í in going forth to pioneer and settle and labour for the Faith in such an important and difficult Province.
The work of the pioneers is very close to his heart, and he remembers you in his loving prayers, that Bahá’u’lláh may strengthen and guide you, and enable you to meet and teach those of His servants in that land whose hearts will be receptive to the news of His appearance.

With warmest Bahá’í greetings,

R. Rabbani
