determination to have this valuable booklet published without any further
delay some valuable and permanent result will be achieved, and that a few
people of capacity and influence will be attracted to the Faith.

In case no publishing firm accepts your offer for the printing of the
booklet, the Guardian approves that the N.S.A. should undertake the
publication.

Hoping to hear very soon some more definite and encouraging news about
this matter, and with the Guardian's best wishes for you and for your
collaborators in the N.S.A.

Yours in His Service,

With the renewed assurance of my loving and continued prayers for the
success of your unsparing efforts for the spread of His Faith and the

Dear Mrs. Slade,

On behalf of the Guardian I wish to acknowledge the receipt of your
letter, and to assure you once more of his deepfelt appreciation of your
highly-valued efforts for the publication of Canon Townshend's booklet on
the Cause. He hopes that the believers the world over will co-operate with
your N.S.A. for giving the work the widest publicity possible, and by
ordering as many copies as they can for distribution in their own
communities. They will surely appreciate, and draw great benefit from,
this original and beautifully-written essay of Mr. Townshend, and they
will certainly do their best to make it known by the outside world.

Shoghi Effendi wishes you to send him, as soon as the book is published,
150 copies for his library. He will also place some of them in
Baha'u'llah's Mansion at Bahji for the benefit of the Baha'i as well as
non-Baha'i visitors.

With the renewed assurance of his best wishes and of his continued prayers
on your behalf.

Yours in His Service,

[From the Guardian:]

May the Almighty bless your incessant and meritorious endeavours and crown
them with unprecedented success,

Your true and grateful brother,
Shoghi
