My dear Mr. Simpson,

I wish to acknowledge receipt of your letter to our dear Guardian and
assure you that he is always most glad to hear from you in person and to
know still more of the activities of his fellow-workers in that country.
At a time when the whole work and administration of the Cause with all its
overpowering intensity and extent has devolved upon the shoulders of our
youthful Guardian, I am sure you quite well realise what every single
expression of the progress of the Cause he stands for would mean to him as
our leader and captain; and at a time when the varied questions and
problems that the Baha'i Movement, on its way to the spiritual reconquest
of the world, is confronted with, seem endless in number, I hardly need
mention what effect the personal assurance and the undying enthusiasm of
his fellow-workers would bear upon the tender heart of Shoghi Effendi.

Concerning the passing away of Mr. Hall's father, he wishes me to ask you
to extend to him a full measure of his grief at the bereavement of such a
radiant brother as Mr. Hall, although he briefly conveyed his sentiments
to him through a short telegram. He was, however, quite pleased with Mr.
Hall's work and the measure of success which he has met with. He shared
this good news with his friends here with a view to inspire all to action.
You should assure Mr. Hall that the deep sense of love and gratitude that
Shoghi Effendi feels toward him is perhaps too great for me to put into
words, but I feel that the success which he has attained is an ample proof
of Shoghi Effendi's ardent prayers for him.

[From the Guardian:]

My esteemed brother:--

Just a word of appreciation on my part of your devoted and persistent
efforts in the service of the Cause. Do please convey to our precious Mr.
Hall my condolences and sentiments of undying affection as well as the
assurance of my ardent prayers for the welfare and spiritual happiness of
his dear family and the Manchester Baha'i Group.
