dian has learned with
satisfaction that the friends are gradually awakening to the realisation
that it constitutes an invaluable support to the extension of the teaching
work throughout the British Isles. He hopes that the flow of contributions
will steadily increase, so as to enable your Assembly to carry out its
important project. He is rejoiced to hear that you have taken the
necessary steps to have the Company legally established--which step, he
hopes, will pave the way for the registration of the N.S.A. as an
independent religious organisation....

[From the Guardian:]

With the assurance of my continued prayers for the realisation of your
highest hopes, and for the uninterrupted progress and consolidation of
your teaching and administrative activities,

Your true brother,

Dear Mr. Hofman,

I am charged by our beloved Guardian to acknowledge the receipt of your
communications of May 3rd and 29th written on behalf of the British N.S.A.

The enclosed copy of the Annual Report, as well as the minutes of the
N.S.A. meeting of the 13th May have also reached him and he has read their
contents with deepest satisfaction.

With regard to your Assembly's request for permission to publish in the
"Baha'i Journal" an extract from his letter of April 24th addressed to
Miss Baxter, he wishes you to assure your fellow members of his approval
of their request.

With his loving Baha'i greetings and with his renewed and abiding
appreciation of your labours for the Cause....

[From the Guardian:]

Dear and valued co-worker,

Your letter of June 24th has also been received. I feel the urge to add
these few words in person in order to assure you afresh of my deep
appreciation of the remarkable spirit of constancy, devotion and loyalty
which you and your fellow workers, in both the teaching and administrative
spheres of Baha'i service are ably and continually manifesting. My heart
overflows with unspeakable gratitude. I will continue to pray for all of
you from the depths of my heart.
