rejoiced in being in the presence of the Guardian. After that she traveled
to various places and ended up in her ancestral home in Hawaii. At the
Guardian's urging she returned to Japan in 1950. Below are some of the
letters from the Guardian sent to her home in Hawaii and then to Japan
upon her return.

He (the Guardian) was ... glad to know you have put the soldier Baha'is in
Korea and Japan in contact with the friends in those places, and hopes and
prays this will lead to the rebirth of the Cause out there.

(in the Guardian's handwriting)

May the Beloved bless, sustain, and guide you, at all times and under all
conditions, aid you to add fresh laurels to the crown you have won in the
service of His Faith, and fulfill your heart's desire for its promotion.

Your true brother, Shoghi

[Letter of July 23, 1946]

It is wonderful to know the Japanese believers are alive and devoted and

[Letter of June 28, 1947]

He (the Guardian) was very happy indeed to receive the good news of the
devotion of the Japanese friends to the Faith, and he feels that the

and the books you may be able gradually to forward will teach them and

you will impress this upon him, and the other Baha'is there and assure
them of his loving prayers on their behalf.

[Letter of May 31, 1949]

He (the Guardian) thinks it would be excellent if you could return to
Japan and meet with your old co-workers there, and assist the new Baha'is
in their work. Your long and deep association with this country, which at
last has begun to put forth flowers in the Baha'i world community, would
be befittingly crowned by this service, and he hopes the way will open for
you to go there as soon as possible.
