The services which the Bahá’í young people are rendering the Cause, not only in England but in Scotland and in Eire, please him greatly, as the Youth are the ones who perforce, in the near future, will find themselves carrying on the administrative and teaching work of the Faith, and the sooner they prepare themselves for this heavy responsibility through actual experience in the pioneer field, the better.
He is delighted to see the steady progress of your activities and the way your Bulletin is progressing, and he assures you all of his loving prayers for the success of all your undertakings....
[From the Guardian:]
May the Beloved bless continually your meritorious efforts, guide and sustain you in your activities, and aid you to fulfil your heart’s desire in the service of His glorious Faith.
Your true brother,
Shoghi
