The Spiritual Assembly of the Baha'is of the Anchorage Recording District.

Dear Baha'i Friends:

Your loving letter of January 9th has been received by the Beloved
Guardian, and he has directed me to acknowledge it on his behalf. The
contribution which you have sent to the International Fund is greatly
appreciated. Receipt is enclosed herein.

The Hosts of the Supreme Concourse are in marshall array, poised between
Earth and Heaven ready to rush to the assistance of those who arise to
Teach the Faith. If one seeks the confirmation of the Holy Spirit, they
can find it in rich abundance in the Teaching Field. The world is seeking
as never before, and if the Friends will arise with new determination,
fully consecrated to the noble task ahead of them victory after victory
will be won for the Glorious Faith of God.

The Guardian will pray for the quickening of the teaching work in Alaska.
A great upward surge is essential in that great country, as it is soon to
have its own National Assembly. May the Friends arise with resolve,
dedication and consecration. Then surely great results will be achieved.
The Guardian sends you his loving Greetings.

Faithfully yours,
Leroy Ioas

The Baha'i Community of Ketchikan, Alaska

Dear Baha'i Friends:

Your letter of April 24th has been received, and the beloved Guardian was
delighted over the formation of your Assembly.

He compliments Mrs. Roberts on her youthful spirit, which has enabled her
at her age to recognize this glorious Faith, and arise to serve it.(7) She
must truly be an inspiration to other Alaskan Baha'is; and he was truly
happy to know that your Community is distinguished by having the first
Indian Alaskan(8) as one of its members. You seem to have made a "scoop"!

You may be sure he will pray for your progress and the unfoldment of the
work there, in the holy Shrines. He sends you all his loving greetings.

With warm Baha'i greetings,
R. Rabbani
