riends there are elderly
people and have suffered many privations, the British N.S.A. should keep
in close touch with them and help and inspire them all it can....

Also concerning your question about the prayers and changing the pronouns:
This cannot be done, even in the long Obligatory Prayer or the healing
prayers. Either we must ignore this mere detail or say a prayer that
applies to our sex or number....

You may be sure that you, and your fellow members of the N.S.A., are very
often in his thoughts and prayers. He deeply appreciates your steadfast
and persevering labours and hopes that the believers of England will arise
to fulfil their high duties and discharge the debts they owe their
countrymen through the privilege of being the followers of Baha'u'llah in
these dark yet historic days....

P.S. The following is a copy of the cable the Guardian sent you in answer
to your request for his advice as to the Six Year Plan the British
believers resolved to undertake:

"WELCOME SPONTANEOUS DECISION. ADVISE FORMATION NINETEEN BAHA'I SPIRITUAL
ASSEMBLIES SPREAD OVER ENGLAND WALES SCOTLAND NORTHERN IRELAND AND EIRE.
PRAYING SIGNAL VICTORY."

He will, you may be sure, do everything in his power to assist the friends
to achieve this objective.

[From the Guardian:]

Dear and valued co-workers,

The Six Year Plan which the English believers have conceived and are now
energetically prosecuting constitutes a landmark in the history of the
Faith in the British Isles. It is the first collective enterprise
undertaken by them for the spread of the Faith and the consolidation of
its divinely appointed institutions. The national elected representatives
of the Baha'i community in those islands must watch carefully every phase
in its development, provide whatever is required for its systematic and
steady extension, encourage the believers to disperse, to settle, to
persevere, and to appeal more directly and effectively to the masses who
are waiting for this Divine Message, and on whose ultimate response the
triumph of the Cause of Baha'u'llah must depend. Obstacles, however
formidable, should be surmounted. Setbacks, however discouraging at first,
must not, under any circumstances, cause them to deviate from the path
they are so devotedly and determinedly pursuing. That glorious success may
eventually crown their concerted and historic endeavours is my fervent and
constant prayer at the Holy Shrines. May the Beloved aid them
