Letter of April 27th, 1923.

To the members of the National Spiritual Assembly.

Beloved fellow-workers in the Cause:

I am not sure whether I have sent you before a copy of this glorious
Tablet revealed by Baha'u'llah for His beloved 'Abdu'l-Baha, written in
His own blessed handwriting, and which we found among his papers and
documents soon after the Master's Ascension. It reveals in terms of
touching tenderness the unique station of 'Abdu'l-Baha, and constitutes an
unchallengeable evidence of His supreme authority.

I am also enclosing my rendering of various passages of the
Kitab-i-Aqdas(8) which you may feel at liberty to circulate amongst the
friends.

Wishing you all success in your work,

I am your devoted brother,
SHOGHI.

Letter of May 6th, 1923

To the members of the National Spiritual Assembly.

My friends and fellow-workers in the Cause of God!

Your most welcome message, imparting the glad news of a successful
Convention, has rejoiced my heart and fortified my hope in this year of
active service, that has just unfolded itself before you.

I am certain that, as the newly elected representatives of the Baha'i
Community throughout America, you are, one and all, well aware of your
mighty responsibilities, and fully realize the tremendous need for a full
understanding amongst the friends, and their active and sustained
cooperation in spreading far and wide the Cause of Baha'u'llah throughout
that vast continent.

I fervently hope that in collaboration with our wise, able and devoted
brother, Jinab-i-Fadil, you will inaugurate a brilliant and vigorous
campaign of Teaching, that shall by its very splendor banish the darkness
of differences and contention that so impede the majestic and onward march
of the Cause in every land.

Central Fund

That you may reinforce this Teaching Campaign--so vitally needed in these
days--and conduct, properly and efficiently, the rest of your manifold
activities, spiritual as well as humanitarian, it is urgently necessary to
establish that Central Fund, which if generously supported and upheld by
individual friends and local Assemblies, will soon enable you to execute
your plans with promptness and vigor.

It is my earnest prayer, in the day-t
