endid work you are
doing for the Cause of God. I wish to renew the expression of my deep
confidence in, and great appreciation of, the part you play at this
highly-important and difficult stage of our work. Your communications
regarding the houses in Ba_gh_dad have been highly satisfactory and I
trust will yield the long-desired fruit. Regarding the position of ...,
Azizu'llah _Kh_an Bahadur will immediately after my decision let you know
on my behalf what I feel to be the most suitable way of meeting this

My dear Mr. Simpson,

I am sending you enclosed a copy of the pamphlet written by Dr. Esselmont.

Last year Dr. Esslemont sent you a similar copy of the pamphlet fully
revised for you to publish. Shoghi Effendi would like very much to have a
copy of his revised edition and is sending the enclosed only as a reminder
of some of the corrections and revisions he had made in the copy he sent
you. In case you have published copies of the revised edition, Shoghi
Effendi would like to have a number of copies sent to him and in case you
have not published it, he would like you to send him a correct copy of the
revised form of the edition as you have it. He could have it published
himself. In any case, however, he wishes you to send back to him the
enclosed copy.

We received last night news that the keys of the houses in Ba_gh_dad have
been given to the _Sh_i'ites and they had made a regular demonstration on
the occasion. We await to see what will be done at last....

is always with confidence in its thoroughness that he refers to you

centres held memorial meetings for our departed brother. He was to us all
a great friend and fellow-worker and to t
