gh), has had to her profound regret to discontinue for a time the
invaluable and unique services she has been rendering to the Cause in
Persia. She is proceeding to America, and will familiarize you with the
deplorable state of affairs in that unhappy country. You will get
first-hand information from her regarding the present condition and
activities of our long-suffering friends in Persia, and she will take
counsel with you as to the best way to meet the needs and serve the Cause
of Education in Tihran. I hope and pray that as soon as circumstances
permit, the friends in America may enable Dr. Moody to take back with her
to Persia suitable, capable and ardent collaborators who will contribute
their distinct share towards the uplift and the advancement of their
brethren and sisters in that land.

Concerning the magazine ... I feel we must make it unmistakably plain to
those in charge of it that the Baha'is would gladly and gratefully respond
to the invitation to cooperate with those that are responsible for it
immediately they are fully satisfied that nothing is or will be published
by them, whether in the magazine or elsewhere, that would, however
indirectly, prejudice or reflect upon their conception of what the Baha'i
Movement is or stands for. Should this be refused, and unfriendly and
harmful matters be published against them, the attitude of all of us
should be a definite refusal to help and absolute non-interference, as
well as the absence of any form of retaliation which will instead of
achieving our end defeat our purpose. We should leave him in the hands of
God.

As to the suggestion of the Annual Convention being held next summer at
Green Acre, I believe it to be both wise and helpful, and trust that it
will forge another link between the Baha'is as a body and its founders and
trustees, and will serve to draw them closer and closer to the outward
form as well as to the spirit of the activities of the friends in America.

The financial help extended recently by the friends in America to their
fellow-workers of the Faith in Qadiyan, Punjab, has given us all intense
satisfaction and made us deeply grateful. Their contribution has
immediately been forwarded to them through the National Spiritual Assembly
of India and Burma, and will, I am certain, enhance the prestige and the
influence of the Cause.

I feel that the conditions are now favorable for the circulation of the
