Dear Baha'i Friends:

Your letters dated April 8, 22, 27; May 13, 17, 24; June 7, 10, 23 (two of
this date), 25, 28; July 19, 22, and 30: and August 10th, together with

assert its independent status, and to give assistance to isolated or
repressed Assemblies, when they are turned to for help or advice.

He has recently received enthusiastic letters from Mrs. Preston in Kenya
and informed her that when she needs advice or assistance she should turn
to your Assembly, while, of course, keeping in close contact with him as

the most difficult and critical months of your Plan. The friends must be
made to realise that the urgency of the task during these few months which
lie ahead, is not only acute but temporary. Once they make this final
effort, and clamber to the top of their goal, they can rest. The
opportunity for achievement is abs
