Dear Baha'i Sister,

Your letters dated March 3rd and 25th, April 23rd, May 18th and July 6th
together with their enclosures have all been received, and the beloved
Guardian has instructed me to answer them on his behalf.

He was most deeply gratified over the way the Centenary was conducted in
London and feels that it has adequately demonstrated the vitality of the
faith which animates the British Baha'i community. They may well look upon
this as their major achievement since the visits to their shores of the
beloved Master. He was also very pleased to hear of the celebrations
successfully held by the Manchester and Torquay Baha'is in their
respective communities.

"The Centenary of a World Faith" he found most excellently gotten out and
not only well written but calculated to arouse the interest of the reader
and impress him with the true stature of our World Faith. He has
distributed copies among the friends and placed some in the library of the
Mansion, at Bahji. He was also pleased with the programme of the London
Meetings--so you can see that the patient efforts and sacrifices of the
members of the N.S.A. and all those who contributed to the marked success
of the Centenary celebrations in England, have met not only with his
approval and admiration but brought happiness to his often heavily
over-burdened heart!

Regarding your question concerning minute No. 1050; this is entirely a
matter of conscience; if the individual feels for some reason justified in
voting for himself, he is free to do so. Regarding your question of the
proper time to celebrate or hold our meetings of commemoration, the time
should be fixed by counting after sunset; the Master passed away one hour
after midnight, which falls a certain number of hours after sunset; so His
passing should be commemorated according to the sun a
