tional Assembly is so energetically and devotedly engaged may steadily
expand and be further consolidated. The teaching work is the corner-stone
of its activities, the sole basis on which the administrative structure
can flourish. A strenuous, systematic and continuous effort should, both
individually and collectively, be now exerted to attain this supreme
objective. With a heart full of gratitude I will pray for the success of
your endeavours.

April 26th, 1936

Beloved Baha'i Sister,

I am directed by the Guardian to thank you for your letter of the 30th
March informing him of the date of Miss Kitty Carpenter's arrival in
Port-Said. You can be sure that the friends will be most delighted to meet
her, and to render her journey to Haifa as safe and comfortable as
possible.

The Guardian himself is eagerly looking forward to the pleasure of meeting
her, and cherishes the hope that through this pilgrimage she may receive a
renewed stimulus to better work for the promotion of the Faith upon her
return home.

The Guardian has also noted with deep satisfaction the preparations made
by your N.S.A. for this year's meeting in Melbourne. He is praying that in
spite of the difficulties you have encountered in carrying out your plans
this important gathering of the Australian and New-Zealand believers may
prove another landmark in the history of the Cause throughout that
Continent.

With loving greetings to you and your dear fellow-members,

Yours in His Service,
H. Rabbani.

[Appended by the Guardian]

May the Almighty bless you and your dearly-loved co-workers and
fellow-members, and enable you all to proclaim far and wide the essential
truths of this glorious Revelation and to lay unassailable foundations for
its institutions.

Your true and grateful brother,
Shoghi.

will have been duly constituted and will be functioning with the utmost
unity, efficiency and vigour.

In this connection he wishes me to bring to your Assembly's attention the
necessity of their
