he esteemed editor of the "La Nova Tago", the International Baha'i
Esperanto Gazette

My dear fellow-worker:

It has given me the greatest pleasure to receive the first issues of the
Baha'i Esperanto Gazette, and to learn of the splendid start you have made
along a path which I am certain will lead you ultimately to glorious and
abiding success.

I hail the inauguration of an international Baha'i Organ, so vitally
needed at the present stage of our work, and destined to render services
that are unique in their character to the component parts of the
ever-expanding Baha'i world.

Though limited in its sphere of influence, and modest in features, yet it
shall, due to the vital position it fulfills, grow from strength to
strength and vindicate its claim as the one medium of international Baha'i
intercourse. That it may achieve this purpose, it is incumbent upon those
who are responsible for its publication and development to devise ways and
means for the establishment and maintenance of regular and frequent
communications with the various Baha'i National Spiritual Assemblies, that
in time this promising Magazine may faithfully portray with force and
beauty the diverse achievements of Baha'i communities throughout the
world.

I assure you of my deepest interest in this fresh field of Baha'i
enterprise, and of my great desire to promote in such parts of the Baha'i
world as present circumstances permit the study of an international
language which is of such an obvious and practical utility to our steadily
advancing Cause.

May 'Abdu'l-Baha bless richly your efforts,

Your brother and fellow-worker
