Her Eternal Crown: Queen Marie of Romania and the Baha’i Faith, Della L Marcus, pp220
Haifa, Palestine
23 January 1934
Your Majesty,
I am deeply touched by the splendid appreciation your Majesty has graciously penned for The Bahà’i World, and wish to offer my heartfelt and abiding gratitude for this striking evidence of your Majesty’s sustained interest in the Cause of Bahà’u’llàh.
I was moved to undertake its translation in person, and feel certain that the unnumbered followers of the Faith in both the East and the West will feel greatly stimulated in their unceasing labours for the eventual establishment of the Most Great Peace foretold by Bahá’u’lláh.
I am presenting to your Majesty, through the care of Miss Martha Root, a precious manuscript in the handwriting of Bahá’u’lláh, illuminated by a devoted follower of His Faith in Tihrán.
May it serve as a token of my admiration for the spirit that has prompted your Majesty to voice such noble sentiments for a struggling and persecuted Faith.
With the assurance of my prayers at the threshold of Bahá’u’lláh for your Majesty’s welfare and happiness,
I am yours very sincerely,
Shoghi
