The National Baha'i Youth Committee of the British Isles

Dear Baha'i Friends,

Your letter to our beloved Guardian, dated August 21st, as well as the
note of your Secretary, Miss Howes, dated August 29th, have been received,
together with the copy of your Youth Letter, and I have been instructed to
answer you on his behalf.

He is very happy to hear of the formation of the new Youth Groups you
mention, as this will not only greatly stimulate the Baha'i Youth and
enable them to attract new young people to the Faith, but will also do the
general work of the Cause in these cities a great deal of good. He urges
your Committee to make every effort to establish youth groups wherever
there are Spiritual Assemblies, and circumstances permit. He would like to
receive five copies of your Youth Letter if this is convenient.

Your services are very deeply valued, and he assures you all of his loving
prayers for the success and expansion of your activities....

[From the Guardian:]

Dear and valued co-workers,

The activities initiated and diligently pursued by the members of your
committee deserve the highest praise. The devotion, the perseverance, the
loyalty, the assiduous care with which you are striving to promote the
interests of the Baha'i Youth throughout the British Isles rejoice my
heart, and will no doubt act as a magnet that will attract the blessings
of the Almighty. Persevere in your historic labours, and rest assured that
the Beloved is well pleased with your splendid accomplishments. I will
continue to pray from the depths of my heart for the extension of your
valued activities.

Your true and grateful brother,
Shoghi
