to you his loving thanks
and appreciation for the kind sentiments which you have been moved to
express to him on the eve of the anniversary of the Bab's martyrdom.

He is, indeed, very much pleased, and feels greatly encouraged, to learn
of the beautiful meeting you have organized in order to commemorate this
most sad and yet unique event in the history of the Cause, and sincerely
trusts that the recollection of these early days of the heroic age of the
Faith will have served to fill with fresh enthusiasm and renewed vigour
your souls, and that as a result you all now feel the urge to play a more
active part in establishing the Cause in Austria.

The Guardian has been also gratified at the news of the marriage of our
dear and devoted co-worker Mr. Franz Pollinger to Miss Anny Moedlogl. He
wishes them both a most happy and successful union and is praying to
Baha'u'llah that He may continue showering upon them His favours and
blessings, and thus render their lives successful and of benefit to His
Cause.

With cordial greetings from the Guardian and with his best wishes and
prayers for you all,...

[From the Guardian:]

Dearly-beloved co-workers:

Your message filled my heart with joy and has powerfully reminded me of
the firmness of your faith, the extent of your devotion, and the degree of
your self-sacrifice and endeavours for the promotion of the Cause of God.
I urge you to maintain the closest contact with the believers in Germany
and particularly with the National Assembly, to study and digest the
chapters of Nabil's narrative as they appear in "The Sun of Truth" that
you may obtain a fuller grasp of the purpose, the influence and the moving
episodes of the Faith of Baha'u'llah.

Your true brother,
Shoghi

suggestion that these two Tablets be printed in one single booklet.

Also regarding the advisability of printing extracts from the Master's
Will, he fully recommends that your Assembly should follow the method
adopted by the American Baha'is in this matter, provided of course it is
financially feasible. The American text of the Will contains, i
