My dear Baha'i Brother,
I am in receipt of your letter of October 21st, with the message from Shoghi Effendi in his own handwriting.
I trust that I will be enabled to show forth some of the Baha'i virtues in my life and in that way attract to the Cause some fo the people of this community [Wash, DC] in which I live through joining with them in those activities which are perfectly in accord so far as they go with the Baha'i Teachings.
We have been distressed over the news of the death of Mrs. Keith Ransom-Kehler. I herewith enclose to you a letter from Mr. Howland, an American and distant kinsman of min, who attended some of the meetings here in Washington last year and who is now in Isfahan, Persia. He writes, as you see, of Mrs. Ransom-Kehler's death and also sends a photograph of her funeral. These documents I kindly beg of you to hand to Shoghi Effendi.
With Baha'i love to Shoghi Effendi and all members of the Blessed Baha'i Household, including yourself,
Faithfully yours,
Charles Mason Remey

Mr. Hoosain Rabbani

Note: Husayn, Shoghi's brother, was declared a covenant breaker by Shoghi in 1945, previously he served as Shoghi's secretary.
