To the Glasgow Baha'is

Dear Baha'i Friends:

Your letter dated 5.7.50 has been received, and the beloved Guardian has
instructed me to answer it on his behalf.

The progress being made in spreading the Faith in Scotland pleases him
immensely, and he feels the Cause will find many exemplary and wonderful
servants among the Scotch people. They may be slow to be convinced, but
once they embrace a thing they do so with full conviction and great
determination to serve their belief.

He will pray that your assembly may confirm many new souls, and thus
gradually free the devoted pioneers, who went there to teach, for services
in new and maybe distant fields.

You may be sure he deeply appreciates all you have done. With loving
greetings,

[From the Guardian:]

Dear co-workers,

I was so pleased and grateful to receive your most welcome message, and I
profoundly appreciate the noble sentiments you have expressed. I wish to
assure you that I will pray for your success from the depths of my heart,
that the Beloved may guide your steps, bless your high endeavours, and
enable you to lend a tremendous impetus to the spread of the Faith in
Scotland.

Your true and grateful brother,
Shoghi

Spiritual Assembly of the Baha'is of Leeds

Dear Baha'i Brother:

Your letter of February 20th has been received by the beloved Guardian,
and he has instructed me to answer you on his behalf.

The Guardian was very happy to learn of your coming County Teaching
Conference. He has been very happy over the large number of pioneers who
have arisen in the British Isles and have gone to new territories, both in
the British Isles and in foreign lands, and he considers this a fine
record.

He hopes your deliberations will produce a still greater effort on the
part of all the friends to implant more deeply and scatter more widely the
seeds of the Faith, which are so greatly needed everywhere.

The Guardian assur
