National Youth committee

Dear Baha'i Sister,

Your letter, with enclosures, to our Beloved Guardian, on behalf of the
National Youth Committee, and dated February 26th, was received and he has
instructed me to answer it on his behalf. He did not reply sooner because
he is so very busy and overworked, and feels sure you understand the
reason for the delay.

The services which the Baha'i young people are rendering the Cause, not
only in England but in Scotland and in Eire, please him greatly, as the
Youth are the ones who perforce, in the near future, will find themselves
carrying on the administrative and teaching work of the Faith, and the
sooner they prepare themselves for this heavy responsibility through
actual experience in the pioneer field, the better.

He is delighted to see the steady progress of your activities and the way
your Bulletin is progressing, and he assures you all of his loving prayers
for the success of all your undertakings....

[From the Guardian:]

May the Beloved bless continually your meritorious efforts, guide and
sustain you in your activities, and aid you to fulfil your heart's desire
in the service of His glorious Faith.

Your true brother,
Shoghi
