the Water of Life freely, so seeking souls may find eternal
life.

If the friends arise with consecration, devotion, and zeal--so the Holy
Spirit may descend through them, to those who are wandering the deserts of
material chaos--they will be surprised at the victories which will be won.

The Guardian hopes you will take a most active part in this quickening of
mankind. May the blessings of the Holy Spirit, and its confirming power be
with you at all times.

The Guardian will pray for you, and for the success of your work. He sends
his loving greetings.

Faithfully yours,
Leroy Ioas

National Spiritual Assembly of the Baha'is of Alaska

Dear Baha'i Friends:

The beloved Guardian is very anxious to secure information as to the
Indian tribes (native), which have been contacted by any of the believers
in your area; or of course if there are any believers from these Tribes,
that would be even more interesting.

Can you prepare a list showing the number of Tribes that have been
contacted, and of these Tribes, the number who have become believers. This
would be very interesting information.

Can you secure it at an early date and send it on to me for the beloved
Guardian.

With loving Baha'i greetings,
I am,
Faithfully yours,
Leroy Ioas
