     The beloved Guardian has directed me to write you 
concerning the Island of Malta.  He attaches great importance to 
this Island, and wishes your Assembly to see that the teaching 
work there progresses as rapidly and efficiently as possible.  
	  | 
	
     At the present time, it has again become virgin, according to 
our records.  Do you know if Miss Townshend intends to return?  
If not, your Assembly should undertake to fill the post just as 
quickly as possible, with someone else.

     As you have become aware through the Guardian’s Convention 
Message, he is very happy with the result of the first year of 
the Ten-Year Crusade.  He is hoping that the second year will 
witness even more glorious victories, and this time on the home 
front, as well as in foreign fields.

     He would appreciate a report of the plans for Malta, as soon 
as possible.  In order to save him work, it is suggested it be sent 
to me.  (Mr. L. Ioas)

     The Guardian sends you his loving greetings….
