Shoghi Effendi ... is very pleased that you have at last found the opportunity of visiting the Holy Shrines. He wishes me therefore to extend to you, and also to Mrs. Muhlschlegel, a most cordial welcome, and to express the hope that through this visit you will receive a fresh and added stimulus and a wider vision in your labours for the Cause in Germany....
It is hoped that more friends will be encouraged to undertake a similar journey to the Holy Land in the near future....
In the Guardian's own handwriting:
Assuring you both of a hearty welcome, and wishing you always success in the service of our beloved Faith,
Your true and grateful brother,
Shoghi
