ved by the beloved Guardian, and
he has instructed me to answer you on his behalf.

The contributions made by the British Baha'i community to the Shrine of
the Bab Fund and to the Baha'i International Fund are greatly appreciated.
Receipts are enclosed herewith.(74)

The beloved Guardian deeply values the unique and outstanding services of
the Baha'is of the British Isles. Through their devotion and sacrifice,
they are setting an example for posterity.

He wishes me to assure you that he prays fervently for the spiritual
confirmation of all of the friends of the British Isles; for their
material and spiritual welfare, and that every obstacle may be removed
from their paths of service, particularly during the Global Crusade.

The Shrine of the Bab is rapidly nearing completion. Its beauty and
splendour are difficult to portray. Certainly the Guardian very aptly
described the octagon, the drum and the dome as the triple crowns on the
Shrine of the Bab. Now that the glory and splendour of the golden dome is
revealed by the removal of all of the scaffolding, it is truly a golden
crown for the Shrine, and each time one looks at it, one becomes more and
more impressed that it is a symbol of the manner in which the Baha'is of
the world, led by the beloved Guardian, are crowning the Baha'i activities
of the past one hundred years by spreading the knowledge of the Glory of
the Lord throughout the world.

The Guardian sends his loving greetings to you all....
