in Palestine have at last ceased and the obstacles to your pilgrimage have
been removed. I would be so pleased to meet you face to face at this Holy
Spot.

[Letter of November 19, 1936]

The Guardian wishes me to heartily congratulate you for the success of
your efforts in connection with the publication of this new (Japanese)
Braille edition of "Baha'u'llah and the New Era", which undoubtedly
constitutes a most valuable addition to the literature of the Cause for
the blind. I wish to also ask you to transmit the Guardian's grateful
appreciation and thanks to Mr. Torii for his painstaking labours for the
preparation of this new Braille publication on the Cause.

[Letter of January 24, 1937]

On behalf of the Guardian ... (I) wish to assure you again of his abiding
appreciation of the splendid activities in which you are so laboriously
and so devotedly engaged for the spread and establishment of the Cause in
Japan. Do not feel discouraged at the meagerness of the results you now
obtain. The Master's promises regarding the share you are destined to
contribute towards the spread of the Faith in the Far East will sooner or
later be completely realized. No matter how dark the present may appear,
you should feel nevertheless confident that the distant future is
immeasurably bright. Strive, therefore, with a joyful radiant and
confident heart to hasten the fulfillment of 'Abdu'l-Baha's glorious
promises. Your reward is unimaginably great, and the success that awaits
your labours certain.

Regarding your visit to Fujita's mother(28), the Guardian feels rejoiced
and thankful for all the kindness and assistance you have so lovingly
extended to her, and would certainly approve of your wish to continue
helping her in every way you can...

(in the Guardian's handwriting)

With the assurance of my deepfelt and abiding appreciation of your
wholehearted and touching response to my request(29), and wishing you
success and happiness from the depths of my heart.

Your true and grateful brother, Shoghi
