Dear Baha'i Sister:

The beloved Guardian has received your letter of February 10th, and has
instructed me to answer you on his behalf.

In view of the fact that he hopes that in the not-too-distant future
Alaska will have its own Spiritual Assembly, he advises you to remain in
Alaska, and try to find employment in some place other than Anchorage,
where you can assist in establishing another Local Spiritual Assembly.
There must be a sufficient number of local Assemblies in Alaska in order
to form a broad basis for the National Body to be erected upon. He feels
that this would be the greatest service you could render at this time.

Assuring you of his appreciation of your devotion to the Faith, and of his
prayers for your success,

With loving greetings,
R. Rabbani

[From the Guardian:]

Assuring you of my loving prayers for your success and spiritual
advancement,

Dear Baha'i Sister:

The beloved Guardian has received your letter of July 15th, and has
instructed me to answer you on his behalf.

He deeply appreciates your devotion and service to the Faith. You must not
become discouraged, but strive diligently to consolidate the Faith in that
important area. He feels the Haziratu'l-Quds itself will prove to be an
instrument to attract new souls to the Cause.

He assures you of his prayers for the success of your labours, and will
also pray for all the Baha'is in Anchorage.

With warm Baha'i greetings,
R. Rabbani

[From the Guardian:]

Assuring you of my loving prayers for the realization of your heart's
desire,
