list of all the places where
there are Baha'is throughout Alaskan territory, specifying whether it is
an Assembly, a Group or an isolated Centre.

Although he attaches great importance to the opening of new Centres
throughout any territory, including, of course, Alaska, he wishes you to
give special attention to sending a pioneer to Point Barrow, beyond the
Arctic Circle. He feels that there is a great significance in having
believers serving so far north; and he hopes that one of the friends will
be able to secure some employment there and proceed to act as a pioneer in
this highly meritorious field.

All the news that you gave him was good news, and he appreciated it
deeply.

You may be sure that his loving prayers will surround you and all the
friends, as they labour to carry the Faith throughout Alaskan territory,
and to hasten the day when it will have its own independent National
Spiritual Assembly.

With Baha'i love,
R. Rabbani
