ued co-workers,

I was so pleased and grateful to receive your welcome letter, and the
first fruit of your services and high endeavours for the promotion of our
beloved Faith.

I feel proud of the spirit that animates you, and will supplicate the
Beloved to bless, and sustain and guide you, and enable you to extend
continually the range of your achievements. Persevere, and rest assured.

Your true brother,

Dear Baha'i Sister:

Your letter of July 18th with enclosure has been received by the beloved
Guardian, and he has instructed me to answer you on his behalf.

He is delighted with the way the work is progressing in Cardiff, and that
there are now nine believers living there.

He particularly values the instant decision made during the Convention,
and consequent action taken, by Dr. Miller in leaving an excellent medical
practice in Liverpool, to settle in Cardiff, with all it entailed of
sacrifice in being separated from his wife, and in being obliged to accept
a junior post in a hospital at Cardiff. It is qualities such as these,
which the pioneer carries to his new post, which attract a reinforcing
power from on High, and enable him to create in the hearts of those who
meet him a longing to have what he possesses, and ignite in these new
hearts the flame of the love of Baha'u'llah.

The Guardian feels sure his non-Baha'i wife will likewise receive a
blessing for her part in this sacrifice, which helped to make this move
possible.

He is deeply appreciative of the Welsh translation; and is confident it
will prove to be of great assistance in the promotion of the Teachings in
Wales.

With warm Baha'i greetings,

[From the Guardian:]

May the Spirit of Baha'u'llah guide you and your fellow-members, and
enable you, in the days to come, to reinforce the foundation that has been
laid, and to extend the range of your highly meritorious exertions and
accomplishments,

Your true brother,
Shoghi

He is delighted to see that the Faith is progressing in Wales, and he
feels sure that the Welsh people will not only respond to the M
