LETTER OF 25 APRIL 1934

25 April 1934

The Guardian has deeply appreciated your kind words to him, as well as the
beautiful message addressed to him by the Esslingen friends, all of which
conveyed in a remarkable and touching way the intense devotion and the
unflinching loyalty of the German believers to the Cause. His hopes for
the future development of the Faith in your country are brighter and
firmer than ever. He is fervently supplicating to Baha'u'llah that you may
all be given a wider opportunity to carry into the field of action the
noble thoughts and the good and sincere wishes you so deeply cherish in
your hearts.

...please convey the Guardian's warmest greetings to all the believers in
Esslingen and in Stuttgart, and also to our dear Mrs. Schweizer who seems
to be still living with us in Haifa. Let me also assure you of his prayers
on your behalf at the Holy Shrines.

LETTER OF 25 SEPTEMBER 1934(7)

25 September 1934

Dear Friends and co-workers,

On behalf of the Guardian I wish to acknowledge the receipt of your deeply
appreciated message of August 19th written through the care of dear Mr.
Schultheiss, and to thank you for it, as well as for the beautiful
photographs which you have been most kind in sending to him. From them all
he has gathered a very good impression about the conditions of the Cause
in your centre, and was much encouraged to witness the beautiful spirit of
fellowship and of service which is animating your group. He cherishes,
indeed, the brightest hopes for the future expansion of the Faith not only
in your two localities but throughout Germany as a whole. He is ardently
praying that the beloved Master's promises to that effect may gradually
and by means of your painstaking and continued labours be completely
realized. In the meanwhile he wishes you to persevere in your efforts for
the study and the spread of the Teachings, and to confidently and quietly
toil for the future establishment of Baha'u'llah's world order in your
country.

His prayers on behalf of each and every one of you will be continually
offered to God, that through His guidance and love you may individually
and collectively make a steady advancement in His Cause.

With hearty greetings and good wishes to you all,

[From the Guardian:]
