Dear Baha'i Friends:

Your letter dated August 22nd, which you all joined in signing, has been received by the beloved Guardian, and he has instructed me to answer you on his behalf.

The thoughts of all the Baha'is everywhere are now centered on achieving the goals of our glorious World Spiritual Crusade, and the Guardian a.s.sures you of his prayers that you may become a.s.sisted to perform n.o.bly your part, whatever it may be, in the present stage of this great Crusade....

[From the Guardian:]

Your true brother, Shoghi

3 October 1957 (Summer School)

Dear Baha'i Friends:

The beloved Guardian has received your note of greeting dated September 5th, signed by those in attendance at the Summer School.

He hopes the friends will focus their attention on the needs of the Ten-Year Crusade now moving along so rapidly; and in their home communities endeavour to lend every possible a.s.sistance in their power to the achievement of the objectives alloted to the believers in that land.

This will bring them spiritual reinforcement and success, in spite of the difficulties that may be encountered by them....

[From the Guardian:]

May the Almighty bless, abundantly and continually, your activities, deliberations and services, guide every step you take, and fulfil every desire you cherish, for the promotion and ultimate triumph of His Faith.

Your true brother, Shoghi
