Upon reading the cable Shoghi Effendi collapsed. Major Tudor
Pole, in whose office Shoghi Effendi read the cable while he wasn’t there, upon
his return found him, in a “state of collapse, dazed and bewildered by this catastrophic
news.” He was taken to the home of Miss Grand, one of the London believers, and
put to bed there for a few days.
