Cause. Unity and cooperation are absolutely essential and vital at the
present stage of your development. Persevere and rest assured I will

LETTER OF 10 MAY 1936

10 May 1936

Dear Dr. Muehlschlegel,

Your letter dated May 1st with the enclosed message from the Annual
Convention of the German friends have all duly arrived and been read with
deepest interest and satisfaction by our beloved Guardian.

He is indeed pleased to learn of the results of your national elections,
and wishes me to ask you to kindly convey to the members of the new N.S.A.
his hearty congratulations, as well as the assurance of his fervent
supplications on their behalf at the Holy Shrines.

The Guardian very much regrets, however, that the Convention has not been
quite representative of the centers in Germany, and particularly deplores
the fact that the Vienna community has been unable to send any delegate to
the meeting. He feels the necessity of urging you to bring this matter
before the N.S.A. at its next session, in order that they may strongly
recommend all the local communities having an assembly to send every year
at least one representative to the Convention. The Convention meeting is
indeed a very important gathering, and the friends should be strongly
impressed with its importance and significance. With some effort and
sacrifice it is always possible for the delegates to be present at the
Convention-sessions....

[From the Guardian:]

My very dear co-worker:

I am so glad to receive such a splendid message from the Convention. To
you, no doubt, must, in a very great measure, be attributed the success
that has been achieved. The days of your pilgrimage will long be
remembered, and I trust and pray that both you and your dear wife will as
a result be assisted to lend a fresh impetus to the onward march of the
Cause in Germany. Upon you rests a high responsibility, and I am sure you
will rise to the height of the occasion.

Affectionately,
Shoghi
