ome you in their midst,
turning a sympathetic ear to all that you have to share with them. May
these high hopes be realised....

[From the Guardian:]

My beloved brother,

My deepest admiration for your indefatigable exertions for the success of
the Cause. I will always remember you in my prayers and await eagerly your
personal letters. I welcome any suggestions and further particulars
regarding the conference on the Living Religions within the British
Empire.

Your brother,
Shoghi

Letter of 6 January 1924

6 January 1924

Dear Baha'i Brother,

Your letter of Dec. 23rd furnishing necessary information concerning the
Conference on Religions arrived and made our dear Guardian highly pleased
and delighted.

As he has quite recently written to the friends in England, he has
instructed me to answer your letter and inform you that he has written and
directed the National Spiritual Assembly of America to have a
comprehensive article written by the ablest pen among the American
friends--to be excellent both in style and in representation.

After this essay is written, it will be sent to our dear Shoghi Effendi
who will send it to your N.S. Assembly for your perusal and consideration.
You will add your remarks and suggestions and return it to him for final
approval.

Shoghi Effendi is also thinking of selecting someone among the Indian
friends to represent India. This Conference and a worthy and dignified
representation of the Holy Cause therein, are under his serious
consideration. We hope that through his wise instruction and powerful
prayers your activities in this respect will be crowned with glorious
success and that it will be known to the public that the Cause is not a
movement collateral with other movements such as the Brahma Somaj or
A?madi movements.

Here at the Holy Shrine of our Beloved we remember all the dear friends in
England and supplicate humbly for their happiness.

Shoghi Effendi is sending you his love and affection together with his
deep appreciation towards your noble labours and sacrificial efforts in
the service of the Holy Cause...

My dear friend,

I enclose a copy of my recent letter to the National Spiritual Assembly of
America regarding the Conference as well as copies of my recent
translation of some of the most remarkable and prophetic utterances of
Baha'u'llah and 'Abdu'l-Baha which might interest the friends in Great
Britain. Pray convey
