inspired the
British Administration of 'Iraq will ever tolerate such grave miscarriage
of justice. They confidently appeal to the public opinion of the world for
the defence and protection of their legitimate rights now sorely trampled
under the feet of relentless enemies.

Widespread and effective publicity along these lines, in well-conceived
and carefully-worded terms, is strongly recommended for it will
undoubtedly serve to facilitate the solution of this delicate and
perplexing problem.

Having exerted ourselves to the utmost of our ability, let us rest assured
in the power of the Lord, Who keepeth watch over His house, and Who will,
no matter how dark present prospects appear, assure for generations yet
unborn His cherished and holy edifice.

Your brother and fellow-worker,
Shoghi

papers:--

1. Circular letter concerning the residential house of Baha'u'llah in
Ba_gh_dad.

2. Circular letter concerning the purchase of land around the Holy Shrines
in Haifa.

3. The system of transliteration to be used in all Baha'i references.

in approximate proportions the different plots around it.

In view of the extreme importance of the aforementioned papers, Shoghi
Effendi trusts that all necessary measures will be taken to insure their
prompt distribution among all the different assemblies and among all such
recognised Baha'is as your distinguished assembly deems fit and
advisable....

Our dear Guardian was very glad to receive your letter of Nov. 4th through
which you acquaint him with the steps you have already taken in carrying
out his instruction concerning the Ba_gh_dad House.

He is highly pleased with what you have done. In other Baha'i Centres also
the friends have in a similar way followed promptly his telegraphic
instruction. Up to this time we have received no further information
regarding the actual situation of the House.

Shoghi Effendi will let you know of any fresh development as soon as he
receives information. He sends you his warm affection and extends to you
his appreciation for your noble services to the Cause of God. He prays for
your health and success in service. He wishes you to kindly convey h
