I am continually urging the friends and pilgrims to visit the German Bahá’í centres and particularly the Esslingen Summer School, as I attach the greatest importance to this vital national institution. I will continue to pray for your success from the depths of my heart. Your true and grateful brother, Shoghi Dear Friends and co-workers,
He signed to his guards, and ordered them to take away the prisoner, and retain him as a hostage until sunset.

The snow had long since melted from the mountain-tops, flowers had begun to peep out of the earth's bosom, and the trees that, grew upon the heights around Esslingen were decked with buds of tender green. But the inhabitants of Esslingen had no pleasure in contemplating those verdant hills; for the castle that crowned their summit was in possession of the French.
Dear Bahá’í Friends: Your letter sent to our beloved Guardian from the Esslingen Bahá’í Summer School session of August 1946, brought him great joy, and he has instructed me to answer it on his behalf.
