Letter of 15 November 1942

15 November 1942

To an individual believer

Dear Bahá’í Sister:
Your letter of September 17th has been received, and the Guardian has instructed me to answer you on his behalf.
He was sorry to hear of the serious state of health of Mrs. ... whom you mention as being such a fine soul, and he will certainly pray for her in the Holy Shrines that she may accept this great bounty from God of the knowledge of His Manifestation, and find happiness and comfort in it.
He deeply appreciates all you and your husband are doing in the service of the Faith at this critical period in the world’s history, and he hopes you will both redouble your efforts, and stimulate the other dear Canadian friends to do likewise, so that the teaching work in Canada may fulfil all its objectives under the Seven Year Plan.
The work already achieved is something to be proud of, and he feels confident the friends can, through united effort, win through to a glorious victory by 1944—our first Centennial celebration.
You may be sure you and your family are remembered in his prayers, and he feels sure your services will ever increasingly widen in scope and bring home richer harvests to the beloved Faith.

With Bahá’í love,

R. Rabbani

[From the Guardian:]

May the Beloved bless you, and protect you, and enable you to promote effectively the vital interests of His Faith and its God-given institutions,

Your true brother,

Shoghi
