I am directed by our Guardian to thank you for your letter of June 5th. He learns with extreme pleasure and satisfaction of your gathering at a meeting at which all the dear friends of Vienna together with our good friend Mr. Adam Benke of Leipzig were present. And he deeply appreciates your loving message of greeting above your individual signatures.
He is so glad to know that Mr. Benke is going to Sofia to help Miss Jack, and he trusts that he will be of very great help to her. With the assurance of Shoghi Effendi’s loving greetings to you all,... My dear and precious co-workers: I was so pleased to hear from you and to learn of your steadfast loyalty to the Cause.
