Letter of 30 April 1957

30 April 1957

To the friends who were present on the first day of Ridván in Hamilton

Dear Bahá’í Friends:
The Beloved Guardian thanks you for your loving Ridván greetings, which he heartily reciprocates.
He hopes that the work in Hamilton and its vicinity will advance rapidly during the coming year, and that, through the efforts of the Hamilton Bahá’ís, a new Spiritual Assembly in that region will come into existence by next Ridván. This might well be your private one year plan!
He will pray for your success in the Holy Shrines.

With loving greetings,

R. Rabbani

[From the Guardian:]

May the Beloved bless, guide and sustain you, aid you to extend the range of your valued services, and win great victories in the days to come,

Your true brother,

Shoghi
