to ... and his earnest desire to become of
increasing service to the Faith. We will certainly pray that he may fully
avail himself of the manifold opportunities that now lie before him of
spreading the knowledge of the Cause in hitherto closed and conservative
circles, and of thus drawing to it the attention of thoughtful and
responsible people throughout Britain.

With the renewed assurances of his prayers for you and for your dear
fellow members of the N.S.A....

[From the Guardian:]

Dear and trusted co-worker,

The marvellous zeal, unity, understanding and devotion exemplified by the
English believers in recent months, individually as well as through their
concentrated efforts, constitute a landmark in the progressive development
of the Faith in that land. They who have risen to the height of their
present opportunities stand at the threshold of unprecedented
achievements. They must labour continually, exercise the utmost vigilance,
proclaim courageously, and cling tenaciously to the principles of their
Faith, spiritual as well as administrative, and resolve to endure every
sacrifice and hardship, however severe, for the vindication, the
consolidation and recognition of the Faith they profess and are now so
admirably serving.

With a heart filled with pride and gratitude I pray continually for their
triumph.

Dear Baha'i Brother,

At the direction of our beloved Guardian I acknowledge with thanks the
receipt of your communications dated November 28th, December 5th, January
5th and 14th written on behalf of the British N.S.A., all of which he has
read, together with their enclosures, with earnest and fullest attention.

Regarding the matter of the N.S.A.'s incorporation, he has noted with real
satisfaction that in spite of the difficulties raised by the officials in
the Board of Trade in connection with your application, the contacts you
have formed with these officials have been of such a friendly nature as to
give your Assembly an opportunity to further press your case, and also to
impress the authorities c
