Anchorage Recording District
Dear Baha'i Friends:
Your loving letter of April 23rd was received by the Beloved Guardian, and he has directed me to respond to it on his behalf. The contribution which you have made to the International Fund is greatly appreciated. Receipt is enclosed herein.
The spirit of the time is the teaching of the Faith in new areas, particularly on the home front. The Guardian sincerely hopes you will be most active in this field, so that many seeking the light of divine guidance in your area, may be led to the Fountain of Immortality.
The Keynote of success in the teaching field is study of the Word, Prayer, Meditation; and then action. Above all, perseverance in action. When these steps are followed in the realm of self-sacrifice, success will be achieved.
The Guardian a.s.sures you of his prayers in your behalf. He sends his loving greetings.
Faithfully yours, Leroy Ioas

Spiritual a.s.sembly of the Baha'is of Ketchikan
Dear Baha'i Brother:
The beloved Guardian has received your letter of May 15th, and has instructed me to answer you on his behalf.
The news you conveyed of the enrollment of Miss Campbell(9) was most welcome. The Guardian is very proud to have these Indian Baha'is in the Faith, and hopes that they will make every effort to carry the Message of Baha'u'llah to their people, remembering always the promises of the beloved Master of how great the Indians would become when the illumination of this Revelation reached them.
The Guardian is happy to see that the a.s.sembly there is functioning so well and achieving so much in the teaching field. He will pray for you all.
With warm Baha'i greetings, R. Rabbani
[From the Guardian:]
May the Beloved bless you and your dear co-workers, guide and sustain you always, and aid you to promote the vital interests of His Faith.
Your true brother, Shoghi

Spiritual a.s.sembly of the Baha'is of Ketchikan
Dear Baha'i Brother:
Your loving letter of June 8th, on behalf of the Spiritual a.s.sembly of the Baha'is of Ketchikan, Alaska, came duly to hand; and the beloved Guardian directed me to respond to it on his behalf. The contribution to the International Fund is greatly appreciated. Receipt is enclosed herewith.
The Guardian is very appreciative of the excellent work being done by the Baha'is of Alaska in preparing for their National a.s.sembly. The pioneering services are highly meritorious, and will be richly blessed by the ever watchful Master. The friends should redouble their efforts during the short remaining period, so there may be many more Baha'is in that important area, when the National a.s.sembly is formed.
The Guardian a.s.sures you, each and every one, of his prayers in your behalf. He sends his loving greetings.
Faithfully yours, Leroy Ioas

Spiritual a.s.sembly of the Baha'is of Anchorage
Dear Baha'i Sister:
Your letter of June 27th has been received by the beloved Guardian, and he has instructed me to answer you on his behalf.
You must feel proud of the achievements in Anchorage, and in Alaska generally. He himself is very happy over, and proud of, the work accomplished there, particularly in recent years.
You should not worry about attacks on the Faith, as these in the end cannot but result in the further growth of the Faith. You should face the coming formation of the National Spiritual a.s.sembly of Alaska with joy and confidence, as it will rest on a firm and promising foundation.
He will remember all the members of the Spiritual a.s.sembly in his prayers, that their labours in the Cause of G.o.d may be richly blessed. He also a.s.sures you of his prayers.
With warm Baha'i greetings, R. Rabbani
[From the Guardian:]
May the Spirit of Baha'u'llah, whose cause you and your fellow-workers serve with such love, zeal and devotion, guide and sustain you, aid you to lend, in the days to come, an unprecedented impetus to the spread of the Faith, and the multiplication of its inst.i.tutions, and win memorable victories.
Your true brother, Shoghi
