Dear and precious sister:

Do not feel disheartened if you meet at first with trials and obstacles in
His Path. I will pray for their removal and will supplicate for you Divine
Guidance and strength. Your reward is indeed great and glorious in the
world to come for all your endeavors and exemplary services to the sacred
Threshold.

My dear and precious co-worker:

I cannot exaggerate the importance, nay the urgent necessity of your
return to Japan. Your place there is vacant, and the opportunities are
varied and brilliant. The few friends there have to be nursed and assisted
to renew their activity and consolidate their work. I will pray that you
will be guided by our dear Master who loved you so dearly and wanted you
so keenly to train and guide the rising generation in Japan into the light
of this Divine Revelation.

Your true brother, Shoghi

My dear and precious co-worker:

Though immersed in an ocean of activities and cares, I find always the
time to think of you and express to you in writing my sentiments of love
and appreciation of all you are doing for our beloved Cause. I trust the
way to Japan may open soon, and that you may resume in that important
field, the work so dear to your heart.

Your true brother, Shoghi

Please assure dear Mrs. Augur of my tenderest brotherly sympathy in her
affliction.(24) The services of her dear husband are engraved upon my
heart. I will pray for him from the bottom of my heart at the Beloved's
Shrine.
