Dear Bahá'í Brother:
At the instruction of our beloved Guardian I am writing to inform you that he has requested Mr. Varqa to forward to your Assembly on his behalf the sum of five hundred pounds sterling. This contribution is to assist in the many tasks your Assembly is carrying out.... 26 September 1957 (Summer School) Dear Bahá'í Friends:
Your letter dated August 22nd, which you all joined in signing, has been received by the beloved Guardian, and he has instructed me to answer you on his behalf.
He was indeed happy to see that so many of the friends were present, and is sure it was a great inspiration and joy for all.
The thoughts of all the Bahá'ís everywhere are now centered on achieving the goals of our glorious World Spiritual Crusade, and the Guardian assures you of his prayers that you may become assisted to perform nobly your part, whatever it may be, in the present stage of this great Crusade....
In the Guardian's own handwriting:
May the Spirit of Bahá'u'lláh continually guide your steps, inspire and strengthen you, remove every obstacle from your path, and graciously assist you to lend an unprecedented impetus to the all-important teaching work in that promising country,
Your true brother,
Shoghi 3 October 1957 (Summer School) Dear Bahá'í Friends:
The beloved Guardian has received your note of greeting dated September 5th, signed by those in attendance at the Summer School.
He hopes the friends will focus their attention on the needs of the Ten-Year Crusade now moving along so rapidly; and in their home communities endeavour to lend every possible assistance in their power to the achievement of the objectives alloted to the believers in that land. This will bring them spiritual reinforcement and success, in spite of the difficulties that may be encountered by them....
In the Guardian's own handwriting:
May the Almighty bless, abundantly and continually, your activities, deliberations and services, guide every step you take, and fulfil every desire you cherish, for the promotion and ultimate triumph of His Faith.
Your true brother,
Shoghi
