Dear Bahá'í Friends:
|
2 |
Your letter reached our beloved Guardian, and he was
delighted to see so many believers and friends were present
at the July session of the School, and also to note the
excellent courses you were given by the teachers and visitors
present at the School.

He was also very pleased to see the program for the Youth
Week being held in the Schwarzwald, and the emphasis
which is being placed on teaching the Covenant in both
Esslingen and this Youth week he considers very important.
|

The German Bahá'ís, like all the believers everywhere,
will be strong, united and protected to the degree to which
they are firm in the Covenants of both Bahá'u'lláh and the
Master.
|
5 |
He hopes the teaching work in Germany will make great
progress, and he urges you all to devote yourselves to this
mighty task, and to promoting love and unity amongst the
Bahá'ís and a better understanding of the administrative
order of our Faith....

Dear co-workers:
|
8 |
Your joint message brought joy and gladness to my heart
and was a powerful reminder of the staunchness of the faith
of the dearly-beloved German believers, their constancy and
determination, their thoroughness and diligency in the study
of the Faith and of its teachings, and their devotion to the
interests of its institutions. I will supplicate the Beloved on
your behalf to enable you to acquire a still deeper
understanding of the essentials of His Revelation, and to
promote, with increasing effectiveness, the best interests of
His Cause,
|

Your true and grateful brother,
