17 May 1938

Dear Mr. Hofman,

I am instructed to acknowledge the receipt of your communications
addressed to our beloved Guardian dated December 24th, January 10th,
February 13th and March 22nd together with the enclosed minutes of the
meetings of the British N.S.A., as well as the copies of the "Baha'i
Journal", all of which he has read with closest attention and keenest
interest.

He has noted with gratification that the Teaching Conference held in
Manchester during last December was successful, and that the meetings were
all pervaded with a spirit of unity and of fellowship. He has read with
deep satisfaction the report of the above Conference which you had sent,
and indeed trusts that the decision and plans that have been adopted will,
through their faithful application in the course of this year, serve to
greatly accelerate the expansion of the teaching work throughout the
British Isles....

P.S. Shoghi Effendi has just received your letter of May 16th and wishes
your Assembly to make strenuous efforts in connection with the
incorporation of the N.S.A. He would advise you to approach Lady
Blomfield, Major Tudor-Pole and Lord Lamington.

The Guardian wishes me to inform you that you have been appointed by him a
member of the International staff of editors of the "Baha'i World". He
wishes you to start from now collecting the necessary material for the
next edition and to send them gradually and directly to Mrs. French.

[From the Guardian:]

Dear and valued co-worker,

I greatly welcome the determination of the English believers to
concentrate their energies on the teaching work, and I pray from all my
heart for the success of their high endeavours in this all-important field
of Baha'i service. Individuals as well as local Assemblies must arise and
co-operate and persevere and refuse to allow any obstacle, however
formidable, to dim their hopes or to deflect them from the course they
have so spontaneously chosen to pursue. Kindly assure them of my constant
prayers for their success.

Shoghi
