He was also considerably rejoiced to know that Mr. and Mrs.
Robarts, [John and Audrey Robarts] for whom you [Howard Colby Ives] had asked
his special prayers in your last letter, have joined the Toronto Bahá’í
Community, and are progressing so well spiritually. He will continue to
remember them in his prayers that they may keep on deepening in their devotion
and love for the Cause, and that also they may receive ever-widening
opportunities of promoting its truth, and of extending its foundations in their
centre.
