t the article was mailed on the 11th, both to Haifa
and England and that Mr. Mills would gladly act at the Conference.

As we understand Mr. Mountfort Mills may go from America to England at the
time of the Conference. Shoghi Effendi will be very glad, if Mr. Mills
read the Paper. This desire of Shoghi Effendi was also mentioned in
to-day's cablegram which was communicated to Mr. Wilhelm.

Through the many cablegrams and letters which have arrived from different
centres of the Cause, promising the maintenance of harmony, union and love
among the dear friends, the grief and sorrow of our beloved Guardian has
been greatly lightened and so we have great hope that when the hot season
of the Holy Land is over, we will have the pleasure and joy of his return.

The members of the Holy Family are all sending you and your dear
co-workers their tender love and assure you of their ardent prayers at the
Holy Shrines in your behalf. They are always awaiting heart-refreshing
glad tidings from you. My humble greeting and warm love to yourself and
the dear friends too.

Your humble brother and co-worker in His service,

Letter of 16 July 1924

16 July 1924

My dear Baha'i Brother,

...I have to write you and inform you that only yesterday I had the
privilege of receiving a letter from our dear Guardian who is still away
from Haifa ... he wishes me to write you, in answer to your letter to him,
that he very much regrets to be unable to be present in London and
represent a Cause to which he has ... dedicated his heart and soul. Were
it at all possible for me to send you his short note, you would see for
yourself with what a spirit he expresses his deep regret.... Although he
realises your disappointment at his inability to go to London, he wishes
me to assure every one of you that his eager prayers for you all is
unfailing and that it is with a glad heart that he cherishes the fondest
hopes in the effort that the proceedings of the religious Conference shall
have on the audience. May I also add that this is a hope in which
everybody shares especially the Greatest Holy Leaf and the members of the
family.

I presume by now you have already received a copy of the address that is
to be read...
