e that I shall soon be in receipt of a detailed answer from you on all the points which I have raised in my last letter. I am also enclosing my revised translation of the Hidden Words of Baha'u'llah, both Arabic and Persian, and hope to send you more of His Words and Teachings in future. Awaiting your news, and wishing you the highest success in your glorious work of service, I am your devoted brother LETTER OF 4 DECEMBER 1923 4 December 1923 To the dearly-beloved friends throughout Germany. Care of the National Spiritual Assembly My well-beloved friends: What a joy to correspond with you again, and express, after a long and unbroken silence, my warm sentiments of love and affection for those tried, yet steadfast, lovers of 'Abdu'l-Baha! Your trials and sufferings have been a constant source of anxiety and painful sorrow, not to me alone, but to the Ladies of the Household as well as to the friends at large.

Your only consolation lies in the ever-living words of our departed Master, who confidently declared that the days are not far distant when Germany, will shake off her present humiliation, and will emerge, mighty, united and glorious, not only to take her destined place in the councils of nations, but to raise high the triumphant banner of the Cause in the very heart of Europe. Your ceaseless activities since His departure from our midst have been steadily extended as your tribulations and anxieties have multiplied, and I feel hopeful that ere long the true Faith of God will blaze worth in that land, and will herald publicly the Message of Salvation to that distracted continent. I am so desirous to receive from the National Spiritual Assembly, frequent, comprehensive and up-to-date reports on the present position of the Cause throughout Germany, with an account of the activities of the various Baha'i centers recently established throughout that land. Your Baha'i Magazine, I have regularly received and read with deep interest. I strongly urge yo
