and the efforts they
are systematically and vigorously exerting for the initiation, the
expansion and consolidation of Baha'i administrative activities and
enterprises at this auspicious stage in the evolution of the Faith in your
country. I fully approve the publication in your Journal of the passages
quoted in your letter of February 26th. I am enclosing the sum of L50 as
my contribution towards the Fund which is being raised for the
establishment of the Publishing Company for the success of which I cherish
the brightest hopes. I will especially pray for the removal of every
obstacle that may impede its formation and development, and for the
realisation of your highest hopes in this connection. Persevere in your
great enterprise, and rest assured that the almighty power of Baha'u'llah
will, if you remain steadfast in your purpose, enable you to attain your
goal.

Your true and grateful brother,
Shoghi

Dear Mr. Hofman,

I am charged by our beloved Guardian to acknowledge the receipt of your
communications of March 21st, 31st and of April 22nd with enclosures.

He has received and read with particular interest the latest issue of the
Journal issued by the British N.S.A. and is indeed happy to realise that
the teaching work, now so ably reinforced by the valuable support extended
to it by dear Mrs. Bishop, is steadily progressing in England. He is most
pleased over the progress of the Devonshire Group, and wishes you to
assure its members, and particularly Mrs. Stevens, of his deep
appreciation of their efforts for the propagation of the Message in that
highly promising centre from which, he hopes, the light of the Cause will
radiate throughout South Western England which has heretofore remained
closed to the Faith. He would urge your N.S.A. to continue giving your
attention to the problem of finding ways and means to further widen the
interest that has been aroused, and is fervently praying that your efforts
in this connection may bear the richest and most satisfactory results.

Concerning the N.S.A.'s Publishing Fund; the Guar
