meeting you again some day--perhaps
here in Haifa or in New Zealand, who knows?

I am back at home now for the present, and I am trying to help Shoghi
Effendi a little in his enormous task.

He is keeping in good health I am glad to say in spite of his many
activities and heavy and manifold responsibilities.

To you he sends his brotherly love and the assurance of his prayers for
your welfare and happiness.

With all good wishes and loving greetings,

Your sister in His Service,
Ruh-Anguiz Rabbani

_My dear and precious Baha'i sister:_

_I cannot but add a few words personally expressing my deep appreciation
of your persistent, self-sacrificing services to the Cause. I have devoted
your gift towards the Fund for the Western Pilgrim House and I wish to
assure you that when I visit the Holy Shrines I tenderly supplicate for
you Divine Guidance and strength in your labours for our beloved Cause._

_Your true Brother, _

Dear Spiritual Sister:--

Shoghi Effendi wishes me to acknowledge the receipt of your letter dated
January 24, 1926.

He hopes that after this long vacation you have had you are ready to begin
spreading the Cause in New Zealand with even greater energy than before.
The people there seem to be broad in their outlook, receptive to any idea
which helps the human family from decreasing its burden.

Shoghi Effendi was most chagrined to hear of the sudden death of your
son(1) and wishes me to extend to you his deepest love and sympathy.

There is no special news here except that we have removed to the new
pilgrim house. Miss Baker is well and very busy entertaining the friends
and arranging the new home.

Shoghi Effendi as well as the other members of the family are well and
send you their love and greetings. They earnestly pray for your success
and hope to hear, before long, the news of your many victories in the
field of services to the Cause.

Please convey my loving greetings to your son and daughter.

Yours most sincerely,
Ruhi Afnan

your labours in the Cause may yield an abundant harv
