As to the extent of his sojourn, the details of his travel, his plan for visiting the various spiritual centers and all other matters related to his visit, I have left them all to his own discretion, that he may, after consultation with the various Spiritual Assemblies, do as he deems best and most serviceable to the interests of the Cause in that land (32:2)

That all the friends may realize more fully the urgent and supreme necessity of teaching the Cause in these days; that they may arise to inaugurate a more strenuous, systematized and extensive campaign of service -- these are the high aims he has set before himself and which he intends, with the unfailing help and wholehearted support of every believer in America, to achieve in the immediate future (32:3)

May his second visit to your shores mark, in its character and results, a new and memorable era in the history of the Cause in that great country!
Your brother and co-worker,
SHOGHI. Haifa, Palestine. January 16, 1923 (32:4)

To the members of the National Spiritual Assembly.
Dear friends:
It is a great pleasure for me to share with you the translation [1] of some of the prayers and Tablets of our beloved Master, the reading of which I trust will inspire you and strengthen you in your work of service to His Cause.[1=These translations, with others received later, were published as a pamphlet by the N.S.A] (32:10)

I trust that in the course of time I will be enabled to send you regularly correct and reliable translations of the various prayers and Tablets of Baha'u'llah, and Abdu'l-Baha, which will unfold to your eyes a new vision of His Glorious Mission on earth and give you an insight into the character and meanings of His Divine Teachings (32:13)
