Letter of 9 June 1929
9 June 1929
Shoghi Effendi wishes me to acknowledge the receipt of your letter dated January 23rd 1929 and the enclosed photos of the friends in Rostock. Though your number is still very small yet we hope that through the Master’s help and confirmation it will increase until it can in its turn radiate its light to regions around.
Shoghi Effendi will remember you in his prayers and ask for you divine guidance.
Yesterday one of our prominent Persian friends, Dr. Yúnís Khán left for Europe. His main purpose is to visit the different centers in Germany and meet the friends. Through such travellers we hope the East and the West will become more closely united.

My dear co-worker:
I wish to assure you in person of my keen interest in your activities as well as of my fervent prayers for you, that the Beloved may guide your steps, cheer your heart and enable you to fulfil your most cherished desire.
Your true brother,
Shoghi

20 November 1929
Shoghi Effendi has been very glad to receive your letter of August and to learn of the visit of Dr. Yúnís Khán and Mr. Fred. Kline. He is also very pleased to know that you have already chosen a plot of land for a Bahá’í home.
The Guardian has always wished to see Esslingen a great and flourishing Bahá’í center, just as our beloved Master always hoped that it may become. Of course you realize that perseverance, enthusiasm and a firm faith in the ultimate success of our Cause is necessary, and when we are assisted by the Almighty there can be no doubt that all our endeavours will be crowned with success.
Assuring you one and all of Shoghi Effendi’s warm regards and of his prayers for you,
[From the Guardian:]
With the assurance of my deep affection and fervent prayers at the holy Shrines for you,
Your true brother,
Shoghi
