of the Exhibition, but wishes you to accept them as his gift to
the National Baha'i Library at the Centre in London, and would suggest
that you keep them for any future Baha'i exhibit which the N.S.A. may
propose to hold in other parts of England.

He wishes me, in this connection, to express the hope that the exhibition
you have arranged for this coming Autumn will prove highly successful and
a most useful and effective medium of teaching the Cause. The idea of a
Baha'i display, chiefly of publications, he feels, is indeed excellent,
and he will specially pray therefore that the one you are now preparing
will achieve such results as to encourage and stimulate the N.S.A. to
arrange for similar exhibits in the future.

Regarding the originals of Tablets revealed in honour of the late Miss
Rosenberg, there are only one or two of them, here in Haifa, and these
were sent by Miss Rosenberg herself. The Guardian is keeping them for the
present as they contain important references concerning the practice of
monogamy in the Cause.

To you and your dear fellow-members I seize this opportunity of renewing
the assurances of his abiding and loving gratitude, and of wishing you
continued guidance for the further promotion of the Faith in England....

[From the Guardian:]

Dear and valued co-workers,

The determination of the English believers to extend rapidly and
systematically the range of their teaching and administrative activities
is a welcome evidence of the genuineness of their faith, the nobility of
their purpose and the depth of their devotion. That such a determination
may yield the richest fruit is my special and constant prayer. What they
have already achieved fortifies my hopes and confidence in them. They have
laid a firm and unassailable basis for their future work. Perseverance,
co-ordination, fearlessness, vigour and wisdom will enable them to
gradually rear on this basis the majestic structure of Baha'u'llah's
administrative order, which in the fulness of time must yield, on the soil
of their country a harvest unexampled in its abundance and glory. May His
Spirit guide and sustain them to hasten that hour and consummate that
task.

Your true brother,
Shoghi
