I wish also to express his (the Guardian’s) thanks and
appreciation for other enclosures and especially for the book ‘Modern Mystics’
by Sir Francis Younghusband, a copy of which you have been most kind in sending
him. The author’s account of the early days of the Movement is very thrilling,
indeed, and quite authoritative, being based on Nabil’s Narrative. It is hoped
that this work will have great influence in spreading the Message in many
circles, and in this way will give wide and effective publicity to the Cause.
