The beloved Guardian has instructed me to inform you that he feels the
time has come for the British N.S.A. to follow the procedure laid down by
him as a general rule, namely that Spiritual Assemblies should adhere to
the civil limits of their respective towns. All other National Assemblies
are following this procedure and he feels yours should too.

The events in Persia have, naturally, distressed him greatly, particularly
anxiety for the safety of the Holy House in _Sh_iraz. However, the
publicity will do the Faith a great deal of good....

Dear John:

Just a line to inform you, and naturally through you the National
Assembly, that the Beloved Guardian has instructed Varga to send you five
hundred pounds for your National Fund, to be expended as the Assembly
thinks best.

Regarding ... legacy he wishes your Assembly to hold this sum in trust for
him until he gives directions for its use.

The beloved Guardian is most anxious that the representations to be made
to UNO regarding the bitter and cruel persecutions in Persia at present
should meet with success. I do hope all goes well....

received by the beloved Guardian, and he has instructed me to answer you
on his behalf.

The matters taken up by cable I will not go into again here in detail.

It has been a great source of satisfaction to him to receive here last
winter two members of the National Body, Mr. and Mrs. John Ferraby, as
well as more than one believer from England. The contact with the British
Baha'is always pleases him greatly. As you know, he admires many of the
staunch British qualities very much, and is proud of the accomplishments
of this community during recent years.

He has been pleased over the progress made in the teaching field abroad
and at home; in the publication of Baha'i literature in African languages;
and, above all, by the pur
