our kind letter of the
fourteenth of December last, and has read its contents with deep interest
and gratification. It made him so happy, indeed, to learn that you are
pursuing your activities for the Faith with such steadfastness and
self-sacrifice, and also that through your beautiful and loving spirit
those members of your family who have not yet embraced the Faith are being
gradually attracted to it. He is ardently entreating Baha'u'llah that
through your inspiration and guidance their interest in the Teachings may
wax stronger and lead them to eventually espouse His Cause.

With reference to the suggestion made by Mr Alexander(5) for taking a
record of the Guardian's voice, he wishes me to inform you that although
he fully appreciates the spirit in which this and similar suggestions are
made to him he is, nevertheless, extremely reluctant that the believers
should give any prominence to his writings, specially in the meetings
which, he is firmly convinced, should be chiefly devoted to the reading
and study of the writings of Baha'u'llah and the Master.

In closing will you kindly convey his greetings and appreciation to all
the friends in Auckland, and particularly to the members of your family
who, he hopes, will be assisted and sustained in their labours for the
spread of the Message.

Yours in His Service,
H. Rabbani

[From the Guardian:]

_Dear and valued co-worker:_

_I am deeply grateful for the services you are so devotedly rendering and
the efforts you are so diligently exerting for the promotion of our
beloved Faith. I will continue to pray for you and your dear co-workers
from the depths of my heart._

Dear Baha'i Sister,

The Guardian has just received your kind message of the second of January
last, and wishes me to thank you for it.

It comforted him greatly to learn that, despite the severe loss which you
have sustained through the passing away of your mother, you are still
engaged as actively as before in the work which you have set your heart to
accomplish for the Cause in Auckland. The agonies of her earthly
separation from you, difficult though they may be to bear, will assuredly
be transmuted through the blessings of Baha'u'llah into a peaceful and
abiding joy. In serving a Cause for which your mother sacrificed so much
you will no doubt come to find the very purpose of your life, and the true
secret of happiness in
