after
consultation with the National Teaching Committee, that you can be safely
spared from the work there, he approves of your going to Europe.

He cannot suggest to you what form of employment would be best for you,
but he will pray that you may be guided in this matter, and that your
Baha'i services be richly blessed.

With loving greetings,

Dear Baha'i Sister:

Your letter, dated May 7th, has been received by our beloved Guardian, and
he has instructed me to answer it on his behalf.

He was very pleased to see with what determination and dedication you are
serving the Cause in Alaska. Now that two pioneers have gone forth from
there, your labour is all the more important, and he certainly hopes that,
through the medium of the Arctic Trails Shopping Service, the public
meetings being held weekly, and the devoted labours of all the dear
friends there, the Faith will rapidly reach and enlighten many new souls.

There is such a confusion in the world today, so much uncertainty, so much
materialism, that it is very hard to hold the attention of even the more
spiritually minded people. But we must persevere and do our best knowing
this is our duty and that conditions will eventually change completely and
follow Baha'u'llah's Pattern.

Please give his love to the Anchorage friends. You may be sure he will
pray for you all, and for the success of your work, in the Holy Shrines.

With warm Baha'i love,
R. Rabbani

[From the Guardian:]

Assuring you of my special and fervent prayers for your success, for the
steady extension of your valued activities, for the consolidation of the
historic work already achieved, and the realization of every hope you
cherish for the promotion of our beloved Faith,

Your true and grateful brother,
Shoghi
