days yet to come....

[From the Guardian:]

Dear co-workers:

It was such a joy to hear from you. You, as well as the other German
believers, are often in my thoughts and prayers. I will continue to pray
for the realization of your highest hopes. Do not despair, nay be assured
that a glorious future awaits you all, more brilliant than any you can
imagine.

Your true brother,
Shoghi

LETTER OF 6 JUNE 1939

6 June 1939

My Dear Friend,

I am directed by Shoghi Effendi to thank you for your letter of May 19th.

Although he was very sorry to hear of the deep misunderstandings and lack
of unity that still exists in ..., he is thankful to you for your writing
him about it, and he knows full well that you wrote because you are
animated with a deep desire to remove all ill-feelings among the friends
there.

The fact is that the Guardian is very sad over the present condition and
because it is almost impossible for him to intervene from such a distance
and without hearing both sides, he has written over and over again asking
that the friends should gather, should talk frankly and fully without
ill-feeling and should solve their difficulty. This to Shoghi Effendi's
deep disappointment has not been possible, Mr. Herrigel has been
uncompromising and firm and the result is that the Cause in ... is at a
standstill. This is why Shoghi Effendi would ask everyone and especially
yourself to make every effort and help the situation....

[From the Guardian:]

My dear co-worker:

A trusted friend of ours, Dr. Yunis _Kh_an is proceeding to Germany to
visit the Baha'i centres and I trust he will be enabled to promote true
understanding and sustained cooperation in.... He is most trustworthy and
capable. I will continue to pray for you from the depths of my heart. Rest
assured and never feel disheartened.

Your true brother, Shoghi
