The Baha'is of Portsmouth

Dear Baha'i Friends:

Your letter of August 23rd has been received by the beloved Guardian, and
he has instructed me to answer you on his behalf.

He was happy to learn of the spirit of active service which animates the
friends in that city, and of the practical way you are approaching the
teaching work.

Through love and unity among the believers, and the wise and persistent
efforts of all the Baha'is, great results should be forthcoming.

He will certainly pray for the progress of the Faith there, and for the
enrollment of a number of newly-declared believers by next Ridvan.

With warm Baha'i greetings,

[From the Guardian:]

May the Beloved of our hearts, guide, bless and sustain you, remove every
obstacle from your path, and graciously assist you to extend the range of
your highly valued activities and consolidate your historic achievements,

Your true brother,
Shoghi

Spiritual Assembly of the Baha'is of Reading

Dear Baha'i Friends:

Your letter of May 8th has been received, and the beloved Guardian has
instructed me to answer you on his behalf.

He was delighted to receive the news of your activities, and feels that
Reading can be cited as a truly exemplary community in every way. He hopes
you will maintain this enviable position as the years go by.

He will certainly pray that your teaching efforts may be richly blessed,
and that you may not only continue to make Baha'is, but to export them, as
you have done in the case of Edinburgh.

With warm Baha'i greetings,

[From the Guardian:]

May the Almighty bless your highly valued activities, guide every step you
take, remove every obstacle from your path, and graciously assist you to
win great victories in the service of His Faith in the days to come,

Your true brother,
Shoghi
