LETTER OF APRIL 15TH, 1936
April 15th, 1936
Dear Miss Brooks,
On behalf of the Guardian I acknowledge with thanks and appreciation the
receipt of your letter of March 12th with enclosure. He is grateful for
the warm assistance extended by your N.S.A. to Miss Effie Baker, and hopes
that she will be of valuable assistance to you all, specially to the
friends in Melbourne. The task of organizing the believers in that center
is no doubt a very responsible one, and the Guardian trusts that she will
be able to fully acquit herself of it.
Regarding the "Herald of the South" magazine, Shoghi Effendi very much
appreciates the fact that in spite of the many difficulties that your
Assembly had to overcome this review is being regularly published, and
that its standard is gradually improving. He would call upon all the
English-speaking friends to contribute, as often as they can, such
articles for publication in that magazine as would serve to make it a more
direct and effective teaching medium for the spread of the Cause
throughout Australia and New-Zealand. He is advising the American N.S.A.
to specially ask the cooperation of the American believers for that
purpose, and hopes that the response they will make to this call will be
such as to further encourage you in your splendid efforts for the
publication of this national organ of the Faith in Australia.
The Guardian would appreciate receiving detailed reports of the activities
of the local assemblies, and would be very thankful if you send these to
him as regularly as you can.
In closing may I ask you to convey his loving greetings to your
distinguished fellow-members in the N.S.A. and to assure each and all of
them of his supplications for their welfare and guidance. He also wishes
you to express his best wishes to dear Father and Mrs. Dunn, and tell them
how happy he is to learn that they are keeping in good health.
Yours in His Service,
H. Rabbani.
