Shoghi Effendi is as usual extremely busy. But his health is in a very
good condition and he is anxiously awaiting the news of further
achievements for the spreading of the Cause. The conditions in India are
now quite favourable but what the Baha'is need is a group of well-educated
and seriously-minded people who would spend a good deal of their time in
lecturing before large audiences and in writing and distributing books and
pamphlets. We are in need of such people. They are, as you know very well,
very few in number and the Guardian hopes that you will do your utmost to
organize or to encourage and assist the formation of such a group.

Your previous letter of Aug. 25 has reached me and I rejoice to learn that
the Burmese version of the "New Era" is being circulated. I long to hear
of the completion and publication of the Hindi and Urdu versions. The
utmost effort should be exerted in order to expedite this most important
and urgent work.

[From the Guardian:]

I am so glad to note a decided improvement in the administrative conduct
of Baha'i affairs in India, and I trust and pray that the teaching work

Cause is the ultimate purpose and the supreme objective of all Baha'i
institutions. These are but means to an end. May the Beloved grant you
strength to enhance the splendid work you have already achieved. I am
eagerly awaiting the news of the publication of the Urdu and the Sindhi
editions of the "New Era".
