pies of Mr. Townshend's "Heart of the
Gospel", which he understands will be off the press in the course of this
month.

May I take this opportunity of expressing his hope that this little volume
may fulfil the author's purpose, namely to attract the attention of the
orthodox Christian element in England to the Cause, and stimulate many
thoughtful and spiritually minded individuals to seriously investigate the
Teachings....

Dear Baha'i Brother,

On behalf of our beloved Guardian I beg to acknowledge with grateful
thanks the receipt of your communications dated July 11th, 20th, August
14th (2 letters) and October 19th with enclosures written on behalf of the
British N.S.A.

He also wishes me to inform you that the photostatic reproductions of the
incorporation papers of your Assembly have safely reached him, and he has
placed one copy in Baha'u'llah's Mansion in Bahji, and is keeping the
other for inclusion in the next issue of the "Baha'i World".

The copies of Mr. Townshend's latest book, "The Heart of the Gospel",
which you have forwarded at his request have likewise been received and a
number of volumes distributed among the various Baha'i libraries
established in the Holy Land. He feels confident the N.S.A. is sparing no
effort to bring this valuable production to the attention of leading
personalities throughout the British Isles, and will pray that the
interest aroused may be such as to lead to the full spiritual awakening
and confirmation of a number of thoughtful individuals in various parts of
the country.

As regards the projected prayer book; he does not know whether the N.S.A.
has been able to proceed with the printing of this work. But in case it is
published, he would like you to mail to him twenty copies, some of which
he needs for distribution among various Baha'i libraries here.

The Guardian feels most truly delighted to know that the outbreak of
