at the friends will give her all the necessary facilities to make
of her tour a real success. The report of her work in Australia and New
Zealand has been brilliant. There is no reason why she should not do the
same in India and Burma if she is given the chance, and be put in touch
with really open-minded and interested people. In America she is
considered among the first class national teachers and is well informed as
to the progress of modern thought and the teachings of the Cause. May be
she will be able to give a new impetus to the teaching work....

He trusts that through the efforts of you and the other members of the
National Assembly the Cause will take a real lead in uniting the different
elements existing in India and turn the face of its people to the light of
God shining through Baha'u'llah.

[From the Guardian:]

Your most welcome letter interrupting a prolonged silence on your part,
has brought joy and strength to my heart. I will most assuredly pray for
your complete recovery, for in you the Cause in India has an invaluable
asset which I, for my part, greatly value and prize. I trust and pray that
Mrs. Kehler's visit will lend a fresh impetus to the work which you are so
ably conducting. I would certainly advise her to prolong her stay in your
midst if it is practicable for her to do so. It is a splendid opportunity
which the friends in India should utilize to the utmost possible extent.
May the Beloved bless and reinforce your high endeavours, remove every
obstacle from your path, and enable you at once to broaden and reinforce
the foundations of the Faith in that troubled land.

Shoghi Effendi was very glad to hear of the arrangements you have made for
the trip of Mrs. Ransom Kehler to India. Being thoroughly familiar with
the teachings and a competent speaker, she should succeed to render
wonderful services to the progress of the movement in India. She could be
easily ranked as a first class teacher among the Baha'is of America and
has been the cause of guidance to innumerable souls. Guided and helped by
Prof. Pritam Singh she should be able to awaken many souls to the spirit
and teachings of Baha'u'llah.

[From the Guardian:]

I wish to urge you to take as soon as you possibly can, the necessary and
most effective steps to ensure the translation of Dr. Esslemont's book
into Urdu and Gujrati. I have already e
