Dear Baha'i Friends:

Your letter of March 19th has been received by the beloved Guardian, and
he has instructed me to answer you on his behalf.

He is delighted to see that you are in one of the goal cities in Alaska,
and that you have been joined by Miss Meyer. He feels sure that this
nucleus will soon attract to itself sufficient new Baha'is to create a
Spiritual Assembly.(16)

He urges you to persevere, and assures you of his prayers for your
success.

With warm Baha'i greetings,
R. Rabbani

Dear Baha'i Sister:

Your letter of June 5th has been received by the beloved Guardian, and he
has instructed me to answer you on his behalf.

He will pray that your personal affairs may work out happily. He fully
approves of your going to Selewik, where you can be of greater service to
the Faith than in Fairbanks, where there are now a number of Baha'is,
until such time as you can arrange to carry the Teachings into the far
north.

He assures you his loving prayers will always surround you in your devoted
efforts to serve the Faith so dear to your heart.

With warm Baha'i greetings,
R. Rabbani

[From the Guardian:]

May the Almighty bless, guide and sustain you, remove all obstacles from
your path, and enable you to promote the vital interests of His Faith.

Dear Baha'i Brother:

Your letter of December 15th has been received by the beloved Guardian;
and he has instructed me to answer you on his behalf.

He is happy to know that you are engaged in the service of the Faith, and
will pray that you may be strenghthened to perform befittingly your part,
and may be instrumental in guiding others to this great Cause.

He urges you to teach all you can, both in Anchorage, and, if possible, in
surrounding towns. As you know, Alaska is to establish its own National
Spiritual Assembly during the World Crusade; and the first step is the
formation of a sufficient number of Local Spiritual Assemblies.

In his visits to the Holy Shrines, he will remember all the members of
your family. He hopes your two dear children will become pure and noble
examples of the Baha'i life, and worthy instruments for the service of
