     Your welcome letter to our beloved Guardian dated Oct. 
16th, has been received, and he has instructed me to answer it on 
his behalf.  
	 | 
	| 
     He is well aware of the very real sacrifices you have made, and 
are making to establish the Cause in Wales, and he wants you to 
know he admires your courage and determination, and most 
deeply values the dedicated spirit which animates you.  
	 | 
	| 
     The news of your first public meeting was good news indeed, 
and he feels sure your perseverance and the strong backing which 
you are receiving from the N.S.A. and the Teaching Committee, 
will crown your efforts with the success you so richly deserve.  
	 | 
	| 
     His loving prayers will be offered for the speedy realisation of 
your hopes, and he urges you to persevere, conscious of the 
historical importance of what you are doing, and of how 
important your work is to the progress of the Plan in the British 
Isles.

	| 
                                    With warmest greetings to you all,  
                                                          Yours in His service,

	| 
Dear and valued co-workers, 
	 | 
	| 
     I wish to add a few words in person and assure every one of you of 
my deep admiration of the spirit you manifest, the services you render, 
and the determination with which you are initiating the great historic 
teaching enterprise in Wales.  
	 | 
	| 
     You are, I assure you, often in my thoughts and prayers, and I will 
supplicate the Beloved to bless continually your high and meritorious 
endeavours.  
	 | 
	| 
                                    Your true and grateful brother,  
                                                            Shoghi
