u for them.
The question of incorporating the National Assembly is very important for
though at present there may not be any important business which
necessitates that, one may arise at any time. There is also some advantage
in being ready for any future developments. But naturally such a step
should be taken after consultation with competent lawyers lest some defect
may in the future cause some inconveniences.
What Shoghi Effendi desires to have are clippings of any article written
by the Queen of Rumania on subjects referring to the Cause and published
in England. He has received such declarations or open letters from America
and wishes to know what she is doing along those lines in England which is
her own native home. It is really wonderful how boldly she is advocating
this Cause absolutely regardless of what others may say. This is a very
good lesson for those who being Baha'is keep in the dark so as not to be
criticised and perhaps ostracised by so called society people.
We are eagerly awaiting to meet Miss Rosenberg and Mrs. Slade to obtain a
first hand information of the condition of the Cause in England and the
extent to which Mr. Mills and Miss Root have succeeded to improve it.

My dearly-beloved co-worker:
I am hoping that our deliberations with our English Baha'i visitors will
assist and aid the work in which you are engaged and prove beneficial to
the Cause in general. I feel that the opportunities now open to the
friends are greater than ever before and I will pray that the measures
they undertake will redound to the glory, the power and effectiveness of
the Cause. The utterances of the Rumanian Queen should be given the
fullest possible publicity and be fully utilised as I feel they are of
great significance and value. More power to your elbow!
Shoghi

Dear Baha'i Friend, Mr. Simpson,
Thank you so very much for your clear good letter of Jan. 16th--Shoghi
Effendi bids me say how much pleasure he always derives from the perusal
of your letters--which are always expressed with such admirable clearness,
and to the point. He has just now been discussing with me the various
matters you mention.
He says that in one way we are not quite correct in the way we manage our
elections for the National Assembly--Shoghi Effendi says that the intention
is, that when once the 19 delegates have been elected by the friends of
