It is my ardent prayer that we may all be inspired to adopt the most effective measures for the successful achievement of this great undertaking.
I was much impressed by the charm and force of Major Moore’s article, published recently in T. P. Cassell’s weekly, and I would much desire to know whether his action was spontaneous, or whether he was urged or requested by someone to write it. I strongly urge the friends, and particularly the members of the National Assembly, to do all in their power to make of this able and highly-minded admirer of the Cause, a zealous and true Bahá’í. I am looking forward with keen anticipation to his spiritual development and his taking a more active part in the affairs of the Cause.
I am enclosing for the friends recent translations of the wonderful prophetic utterances of Bahá’u’lláh, and I trust you will find them of great value in your work of teaching and spreading the Cause.
Awaiting eagerly your letters, individually as well as collectively,
I am your brother,
Shoghi
