To the National Spiritual Assembly
Dear Bahá'í Friends:
The beloved Guardian is very anxious to secure information as to the Indian tribes (native) and Eskimos, which have been contacted by any of the Believers in your area; or of course if there are any Believers from these Tribes, that would be even more interesting.
Can you prepare a list showing the number of Tribes that have been contacted and, of these Tribes, the number who have become Believers. This would be very interesting information.
Can you secure it at an early date and send it on to me for the Beloved Guardian.
With loving Bahá'í greetings, I am,
Faithfully yours,
Leroy Ioas
