he does travel
throughout the whole of India in the interests of the Cause, he will show
a record of constant progress and would have rendered valuable services to
the Baha'i Faith. Please assure him of our Guardian's unfailing prayers
and good wishes and also kindly convey to the Amritsar Baha'is the loving
greetings of Shoghi Effendi...
I am sure it will interest you to know that we have had during the Ridwan
festivals the first Baha'i pilgrim from Tunis. The representative of the
Tunis Assembly is a young man full of hopes and schemes for the future.
[From the Guardian:]
I will specially supplicate, on behalf of my dear brethren in India &
Burma, at the Beloved's Shrine, that they may arise with heart and soul
and in perfect harmony and understanding to extend the scope of their
activities, to consolidate the foundations of their work, to deepen their
knowledge and understanding of the fundamentals of the Faith, and to carry
out the Beloved's explicit instructions for the establishment of
Baha'u'llah's undisputed sovereignty on this earth. May they be richly
blessed and guided in their endeavours.

[Letter of June 22, 1928]
Among the subjects that the Guardian would expect your body to take are a
coordination of the various efforts and endeavours throughout India and
Burma, an acceleration and increase in the number of Baha'is and
fellow-workers, ways and means to attract the attention of Indians from
every class and creed to the message and vital dynamic spirit of the
Baha'i Faith and as a cumulative and culminating step the final
recognition of the Baha'i Community as a separate religious organization
similar to what has been already achieved in America.

[Letter of August 21, 1928]
The news that we obtain from the various parts of the world are most
gratifying, for though there are some great problems to solve, yet no one
can fail to see the constant realization of those ideals we cherish. May
that day soon dawn when the source of this spiritual power, which is
permeating the whole of society, will be appreciated and venerated.
