Dear Bahá’í Sister:
Your loving letter of October 4th and subsequent cablegram of October 12th have been duly received and its contents presented to the beloved Guardian.
He was pleased to learn the manner in which your Assembly and the Bahá’ís are undertaking this all-important task of teaching the Indians, the Eskimos and to the extent possible, the Aleuts.
The Master has promised that very great results would be achieved when these people are given the inspiration and guidance of the Holy Spirit, and therefore he hopes the friends will be able to bring it to them in increasing force and in increasing numbers.
The Guardian will pray for you and for the success of your work.
Faithfully yours,
Leroy Ioas

Dear Bahá’í Friends:
Your loving letter of October 1st was duly received by the beloved Guardian and he has directed me to acknowledge it on his behalf.
The contribution which has been sent by your Assembly to the International Fund is greatly appreciated. Receipt is enclosed.
The Guardian is happy that the friends in Alaska are arising with such vigor and enthusiasm to serve the Cause of God. They have won outstanding and historic victories for the Faith, but the thing that pleases him most is that each victory that is won has been used as a stepping stone to further service in the Cause of God. Thus the Cause is expanding very rapidly both in the teaching and administrative fields. He hopes that your Assembly will be guided and confirmed in the noble undertakings in which you are engaged. But he likewise hopes that you will be able to stimulate all the friends to intensive effort so that many seeking souls may find eternal life at this particular time and that the Institutions of the Faith may be firmly established in that promising Country. He will pray for you and for the success of your work.
He sends you his loving greetings.
Faithfully yours,
Leroy Ioas
