LETTER OF 3 MARCH 1937

3 March 1937

I am instructed by our beloved Guardian to inform you of the receipt of
your letter of February 21st written on behalf of the Baha'i Assembly of
Rostock, and to ask you to convey to them, and also to our dear friend Mr.
Lorenzen, his grateful thanks for the enlarged copy of the photograph of
the North German Baha'i Congress which they have been so kind in sending
him. It is indeed a most beautiful and impressive picture, and will be
placed very soon in the Mansion of Baha'u'llah at Bahji, where it will be
seen by both the Baha'i and non-Baha'i visitors. Please, thank very warmly
your fellow-members in the Rostock Assembly for this gift, and express to
them the Guardian's hope that, through them, as well as through the united
and combined efforts of all North German Baha'i centers, this year's
conference will be even more successful than the one held last summer, and
that the outcome of it will be to open new fields of teaching for the
Cause in Northern Germany.

LETTER OF 23 JUNE 1937

23 June 1937

The Guardian has been most deeply touched by your message of the third
inst., and wishes me to assure you both of his profound appreciation of
the sentiments you have expressed to him on the occasion of his marriage.
It was most kind and thoughtful of you to have written him in such moving
terms, and to have given him such firm assurances of your undying loyalty
and devotion to the Cause. He is ardently praying on your behalf that the
spirit which is animating you may ever grow deeper, and may translate
itself into sustained and whole-hearted service to the Faith in the
beloved land of Germany. He is specially entreating the Beloved that the
difficulties which you and your beloved co-workers in that land are so
unexpectedly encountering may be gradually removed, and that you may be
again set free to assist in spreading the Teachings among your
fellow-countrymen.
