Dear Baha'i Brother:

Shoghi Effendi wishes me to acknowledge the receipt of your letter dated
April 6th 1930 written from London. He was very happy to learn that
wherever you have been you have received wonderful reception from the
friends. Surely, it is only through such acts of hospitality that the true
spirit of the Cause is manifested.

Shoghi Effendi wishes me to assure you of his prayers and extend to you
his hope that wherever you go you will feel the divine help and guidance.
He hopes that in America you will experience the true spirit of love that
animates the friends there and that you will give them Shoghi Effendi's
greetings.

Yours ever sincerely,
Ruhi Afnan

_My dear and precious co-worker:_

_I was much pleased to hear from you and to learn of your experiences. I
trust that the same welcome and loving-kindness will be extended to you by
the American friends. You are often in my thoughts, and I will continue to
pray for your spiritual as well as material welfare and advancement.
Convey, when you write to your Mother, my loving and affectionate
greetings._

_Your true brother, _

My dear Baha'i Sister:

I thank you on behalf of the Guardian for your letter of April 16th.

He was very glad to know that you are now on your way to England by way of
America and he hopes that you will find the occasion and the means of
visiting the friends and making permanent connections with them. Bertram
will of course be delighted to meet you and we hope he is successful in
his work there.

I suppose you have all the London addresses as the friends there would be
delighted to meet you. Of course if you do decide to visit Haifa on your
way back, Shoghi Effendi wishes me to assure you of a most hearty welcome.

With his loving greetings to you all and to the young couple in England
and with much love from all here.

Sincerely yours,
Soheil Afnan
