eceive your views as to who should represent Canada
at the Conference. India is the only other country within the British
Empire that can send a native Baha'i representative to the conference, and
it is rather unfortunate that the United States of America should have to
be excluded, as the speakers at the conference must necessarily be
subjects of the British Empire.

I am enclosing recent translations of the prophetic and most remarkable
words of Baha'u'llah and 'Abdu'l-Baha which I trust you will all find of
great value and interest in the great work you are doing for the Cause.

May this great project yield an abundant harvest for the Cause, and your
efforts be richly blessed by the guiding Spirit of 'Abdu'l-Baha.

Your fellow-worker,
Shoghi

Letter of 18 January 1924

18 January 1924

My dear Mr. Simpson,

Shoghi Effendi was glad to hear from you again and hopes that the
activities of the friends in England are progressing day after day. There
is really so much to be done in almost every country that the more the
friends accomplish, the larger does the field of service become. As a
matter of fact in many countries we can hardly claim to have fully
represented the Cause and to have declared its strong and sublime
principles to all classes of men. It is with a vision of greater
accomplishments among higher and higher circles of society, that our
Guardian wishes his fellow-workers to feel inspired; and in these dark and
dismal days it is the proclamation of Baha'u'llah's great Message for
which the faithful servant must strive with heart and soul.

Concerning the sum which Shoghi Effendi has sent to the National Assembly
as a personal gift; he would like to inform you that in case you feel in
great need of funds for the activities of the Cause in England, you might
take from the sum which he sent you, and at the time of the Exposition
Shoghi Effendi might be able to help you in case you cannot collect the
necessary expense. Shoghi Effendi attaches great hopes to the activities
of the friends in London, and may they some day be realised.

The copies of the "Hidden Words" you had published were received and
Shoghi Effendi thinks that they are quite well printed. He is glad that he
can share these comforting thoughts from Baha'u'llah with his brothers and
sisters in the West....

My dear fellow-worker,

I always look forward with keen anticipation to any news from England
