The Guardian thinks that it is wise not to influence ... by sending him material which he does not at present wish to receive. He is, judging from his letter, a sincere but immature believer....
P.S. Your National Assembly is not responsible for Eritrea but you may encourage any believers there.
[From the Guardian:]
May the Almighty bless your high endeavours, guide and sustain you continually, and aid you to win great victories in the service of His Faith.
Your true brother,
Shoghi
