and better Baha'i books, and he suggests you present
your idea to the German, British and American N.S.A.'s.

LETTER OF 10 FEBRUARY 1951(37)

10 February 1951

The Hamburg situation he trusts is now greatly improved. The believers
there must learn to function according to the Administration. When they do
this, ninety percent of their problems will be solved.

Regarding your questions concerning the Gleanings:

1st. CXL up until CXLI refers to Muhammad-'Ali. The following pages do
not.

2nd. The Guardian does not remember to whom Chapter CXLIII refers. He
gathered the quotations for the Gleanings from innumerable individual
tablets and writings, and did not keep a record of all of them; and has
not at present time to go back over this material and find out. He does
not consider it important to whom it refers.

3rd. On Page 312, the words "I feign would hope" are merely a very
elevated style of English for saying "I hope". This tablet has nothing to
do with Muhammad-'Ali.

The Guardian asks you to please convey his love to all the members of your
dear family, as well as to dear Mrs. Benke.

He very much appreciates the translation you have made of the Gleanings,
and hopes that it will soon be in the hands of all the believers, as it is
an extremely important volume for acquiring a deeper understanding of the
Faith, and greatly enriches the literature available in the German
language.

LETTER OF 10 FEBRUARY 1951

He feels that you should not ask the believers not to elect you to the
Spiritual Assembly during the coming year. However, you might ask your
fellow-members not to elect you as Chairman or as an officer of the
Spiritual Assembly, if you are reelected to that body. This will lighten
your work, and enable you, if you do not feel well enough, to omit
attending some of the meetings; but your presence on the Assembly, if
elected to it, the Guardian feels is important, because of your long
experience in the Faith and your loyalty and tact....

Your long and devoted services to the Faith are very deeply valued; and he
feels you have every reason to be happy as you look about you and see the
great progress made in Germany, and the fact that the believers there are
more loyal, more active and more numerous than ever before.

Dear Baha'i Friend
