Teaching Committee for Alaska

Dear Baha'i Brother:

The beloved Guardian has received your letter of August 17th, with the
sheet enclosed showing the names of those who attended the first All
Alaskan Summer Teaching Conference.

The progress of the work in Alaska is very gratifying to him. He would
like your Committee to assure those who attended this Teaching Conference
of his prayers for the success of their labours.

It is the Guardian's deep hope that, in countries where the friends may
teach freely, a mighty, sustained teaching effort may be exerted. If the
Faith progresses rapidly in such countries, this will in a measure
compensate for the setback it has suffered in Persia, because of the
recent terrible persecutions.

He attaches great importance to Alaska; and he hopes the friends there
will rise to great heights, in the days to come, in their teaching
activities.

With warm Baha'i greetings,
R. Rabbani

[From the Guardian:]

May the Beloved bless your efforts, guide your steps, and aid you to
promote, at all times, the vital interests of His Faith.

Your true brother,
Shoghi
