|  | Letter of 8 April 1927 | 
	| 1 | Dear Bahá'í brothers and sisters, | 
	| 2 | The beloved Guardian, Shoghi Effendi, thanks you for 
your good Naw-Rúz letter to him, dated 1 Bahá 84. | 
	| 3 | He is very pleased that you have good hopes for the future 
and he will pray at the Holy Shrines for you, that you may 
be abundantly blessed--and that you may be enabled to 
draw many souls to the light of these Divine Teachings. | 
	| 4 | He is very interested to hear of your plan to build a 
wooden house on your new piece of land, to be a home for 
the young and the aged--and also that is to be used as a 
 
home for poor children, to give them a change and rest 
during the summer.  It will be a very good and excellent 
work to build this house--and Shoghi Effendi hopes that 
you will have great success with it, and that you will find it 
of the utmost use and benefit for those who are poor in the 
world's goods.... | 
	| 5 | [From the Guardian:] | 
	| 6 | My dear co-workers: | 
	| 7 | Your sweet and touching message of loyalty and love has 
greatly cheered and encouraged me.  I rejoice to learn of 
your steadfast love and devotion to our beloved Cause.  I am 
greatly heartened by the thought of your constancy in 
service and your splendid achievements.  I am deeply 
thankful for your aid and assistance in safeguarding and 
promoting the interests of the Cause.  I will continue to pray 
for you, one and all, from the depths of my heart, that the 
Beloved may deepen your understanding, broaden your 
vision, remove obstacles from your way, and enable you to 
become the purest mirrors reflecting the beauty and 
radiance of the Divine Revelation. | 
	| 8 | Your true brother, | 
	| 9 | Shoghi |
