European and Asian Committee

Dear Baha'i Friends:

Your letter of the 9th of Nur, 110, was received by the beloved Guardian.

As he has been tremendously busy during this Holy Year--and indeed his work
is increasing all the time--and there was nothing urgent that required an
immediate reply--he has delayed in answering you until he had more time.

He hopes that your committee will be able to gradually assist in the work
allotted to the British National Spiritual Assembly during the Plan.

The most important thing of course is to get the believers out into wholly
virgin areas, and keep them there. So far, England has done nobly, and he
is proud of their efforts.

The Pacific area is also of great importance. If there is any possibility
of British subjects going out to territories that are under the
jurisdiction of other National Bodies, but difficult to get into, he feels
that they should be referred to the committees concerned, or the National
Spiritual Assemblies concerned, because of the importance of achieving all
the goals of the Plan, regardless of which Assembly has certain goals
under its immediate jurisdiction.

He assures you he will pray for the success of your devoted labours, in
the Holy Shrine.

[From the Guardian:]

May the Almighty bless your meritorious activities, guide and sustain you
always, and enable you to lend a great impetus to the splendid work now
being accomplished in Europe and in Asia.

Your true brother,
Shoghi

Dear Baha'i Brother:

Your loving letter of April 30th has just come to hand, calling attention
to the fact that Olga Mills, one of the pioneers in Malta, is serving
there very actively. The beloved Guardian had been informed by someone
that she had left.

However, the intent of the letter of April 24th still remains--that no
pioneer should leave their goal unless for very urgent reasons. In the
case of Malta, this is a country which can only be settled by English
Baha'is, and therefore the Guardian feels it of great importance that any
pioneer who goes there should remain. It is hoped that it may be possible
for Una Townshend to return in due course, to carry on her work there.

The Guardian asks that you convey t
