Miss Frances E. Coley,
Dear Baha'i sister,
Your letter of August 12th has been received by the beloved Guardian; and he has instructed me to answer you on his behalf.
We are assured that this is a new, different era. Whatever has been given us the Writings of Baha'u'llah and Abdu'l-Baha is sufficient to protect and preserve the unity and integrity of the Faith.
If we look to our fellow-believers, we are likely to disappointed at times; because Baha'is are not perfect, but are consistently striving toward greater perfection.
There exists in the Faith a perfect safeguard for its protection in the station of the Guardianship. We should center our thoughts on the beloved Guardian, and squarely face him. He is the "sign of God" on earth. BY doing this, we can best carry forward our work for the Faith, and our own personal lives on a constructive basis.
You should not feel depressed; but be confident that the Cause of God is fully guarded and protected, through its God-given Institutions, against any unscrupulous practices of men.
With warm Baha'i greetings,
R.Rahbani
Drawing you of my loving prayers for your success & spiritual advancement.
Your true brother,
Shoghi

Dear Friends: The first word in the postscript to this letter written by the beloved Guardian is "Assuring," and not "Drawing." Please correct this in the transcription. Thank you very much.
