r friends of Vienna together with our good
friend Mr. Adam Benke of Leipzig were present. And he deeply appreciates
your loving message of greeting above your individual signatures. Such
messages are always a source of pleasure to him, but he is especially glad
to see the newly established centre in Vienna so full of enthusiasm, of
love and of devotion to the Cause of Baha'u'llah. He prays from the bottom
of his heart that our precious Master may fill your souls with His
beautiful spirit and may help and guide you to serve His Cause and
humanity.

He is so glad to know that Mr. Benke is going to Sofia to help Miss Jack,
and he trusts that he will be of very great help to her.

With the assurance of Shoghi Effendi's loving greetings to you all,...

[From the Guardian:]

My dear and precious co-workers:

I was so pleased to hear from you and to learn of your steadfast loyalty
to the Cause. The friends in Vienna are ever in my thoughts and heart and
I will continue to supplicate for them the Master's richest blessings.

Your true brother,
Shoghi

LETTER OF 23 DECEMBER 1931

23 December 1931

Dear Dr. Muehlschlegel:

Shoghi Effendi wishes me to drop you these few lines to inform you that
few days ago he sent to your address c/o Mrs. Schwarz a copy of his
translation of the Iqan which has just come out. He hopes that it will
help you in revising your translation into German which you have already
made. This is in fulfilment of the promise he made last year to send you a
copy of his English translation when out of the press.

Shoghi Effendi has, through various channels, been hearing of the
wonderful services you are rendering to the Cause. He sincerely trusts
that the young and educated Baha'is, who have their spiritual faculties
fully developed, and who as a consequence appreciate the significance of
Baha'u'llah's mission in the development of the world, will with one
accord, arise and establish the Kingdom of God upon the earth. The world
around us is in a pitiable condition and its ills seem daily to increase.
It is for us, we Baha'i youths, who have been entrusted with this divine
mission, to do our utmost and rest only when the task has been carried to
its successful conclusion.

In his moments of prayer and meditation at the Shrines Shoghi Effendi will
think of you and ask for you divine guidance and help....
