Never have I seen anyone work as hard as Shoghi Effendi, and
it must be very trying to him with his universal creative energy, his world
horizon, his soaring ideals, to say nothing of the unfathomable depths of
knowledge and wisdom which flow like undulated waves through his sacred entity
at all times, it must be a cruel restraint that he has not a greater vehicle or
channel through which to pour all this power throughout the world...

letter to Katherine Baldwin, Honolulu. February 1939)
