Letter of 9 October 1947
9 October 1947
Child Education Committee
Dear Bahá’í Friends,
Your letter to our beloved Guardian, dated Sept. 1st, has been received by him, and he has instructed me to answer it on his behalf.
He was very pleased to see the enthusiasm and devotion with which you have entered into this important branch of Bahá’í activity, and he hopes your labours will be richly rewarded with success.
He would suggest that wherever classes for Bahá’í children are held, liberal minded parents be invited to send their children too, so that their minds may receive the broad, basic and tolerant doctrines of our glorious Faith.
He assures you of his loving prayers for the success of your activities.
With warmest greetings,
[From the Guardian:]
May the Spirit of Bahá’u’lláh guide and sustain you in your highly 206 important and vital undertaking, enable you to extend continually the range of your meritorious activities, and lend a great impetus to the consolidation of the institutions of our glorious Faith.
Your true brother,
Shoghi
