The precious efforts so continuously exerted by our Manchester Bahá’ís and particularly by our beloved Mr. Hall and Mr. Sugar will undoubtedly yield their fruits in a not very distant future. But the friends should persevere in their task and not let any obstacle, however great, hinder their onward march. In these days of sufferings and hardships, patience and hope are indispensable for the success of any idea or plan.
In closing may I assure you of our Guardian’s best wishes and ask you to extend to all our Manchester Bahá’ís the expression of his heartfelt thanks and appreciation.
Yours in His Service,
[From the Guardian:]
May the Beloved bless your high and unsparing efforts, enable you to extend the scope of your activities, and consolidate the foundations of the Faith in that great city.
Your true brother,
Shoghi
