Dear Baha'i Sister,

The Guardian has received your most welcome message of December 31st, and
feels truly delighted to know of your recent confirmation in the Faith,
and of the pioneer work you are now undertaking in Alaska,(3) in
collaboration with our beloved sister Miss Honor Kempton.

He is indeed grateful to you for having offered to teach and establish the
Cause in that far off land, and feels confident that through the promised
confirmations of Baha'u'llah and your own persistent efforts you will
eventually succeed in completely attaining your goal.

The various measures you have already taken with the view of giving
widespread publicity to the Teachings have been noted with deep interest
and appreciation by the Guardian who indeed trusts that they will result
in attracting to the Cause people of capacity and understanding.

He would urge you and also dear Miss Kempton to persevere, and through
your joint exertions endeavour to pave the way for the formation of a
local assembly in Alaska. Rest assured his prayers will be specially
offered on behalf of you both, that you may receive ever-increasing
strength, capacity and guidance to carry out your high teaching mission to
complete success.

With the renewed expression of his abiding gratitude for your devoted
services, and with loving greet
