America will do their best to secure for that important publication the
widest demand and publicity possible.

Shoghi Effendi would advise that you should also communicate with the
N.S.A. of the Baha'is of Australia and New Zealand, and with other English
speaking Assemblies, groups and individuals, informing them of this new
publication, and asking for their assistance in creating for it as wide a
demand as possible.

With his renewed greetings and best wishes to you and to all the friends
in London,

Yours in His Service,

[From the Guardian:]

Dear and valued co-worker,

I have read your letter of May 22 and Aug. 9 with joy and thankfulness as
both eloquently testify to your inflexible resolve to promote by every
means in your power the best interests of our beloved Cause. I trust and
pray that the effect of the publication of the "Promise" will be such as
to gladden your heart and reinforce the constant efforts which you have so
devotedly exerted in recent years for the propagation of the Faith. I will
soon send the cheque for the books I have asked you to send me and which I
will distribute as widely as I possibly can.

Your true and grateful brother,
Shoghi

Assembly, in that it would assist in enabling it to obtain
