[Letter of October 31, 1927]
My dear and precious sister:
I am glad that the date of your voyage to j.a.pan is at last settled and I hope and trust that you will be enabled to consolidate the great work you have initiated in j.a.pan. My prayers will accompany you wherever you go, and I ask you to a.s.sure the loved ones in j.a.pan of my continued prayers for their progress and spiritual advancement.

My dear co-worker:
What a relief to learn that you are at last on your way to j.a.pan where I trust and pray you may witness the growth of the Cause so dear to our hearts. I will pray that your efforts may meet with the fullest success and that you may be enabled to establish a powerful centre in the heart of that promising country.

[Letter of March 13, 1928]
My dear and precious co-worker:
I rejoice to learn of the resumption of your most valuable and pioneer work in j.a.pan, and I wish to a.s.sure you again and in person of my continued and fervent prayers at the Holy Shrines for your success in spreading and consolidating the Cause in that land. I urge you to make a special effort to organize the believers there into a local Baha'i Spiritual a.s.sembly as a nucleus round which will gather and flourish the future Baha'i community in j.a.pan. I trust that the Beloved may guide your steps and bless your efforts in this connection. Awaiting eagerly your good news.
Your true brother, Shoghi

My dear Baha'i sister,
Our Guardian has received with extreme pleasure your letter of February nineteenth from Tokyo.
He is so glad to know that you are finally there and actively busy in a work to which he pays the greatest importance. Being pioneer work it is bound to be slow, but he hopes that it will soon pa.s.s beyond the pioneer stage and that Baha'i a.s.semblies and groups composed of full fledged and confirmed Baha'is will replace your isolated individuals with whom you now communicate.
