Adah Shifrin (a friend of Irwin Luck's family) and others in Miami, also worked together to produce a book of pictures of Baba for children titled Meher Baba Is Love: For Children 4 to 100. A copy of it was received in Meherazad at this time. Baba liked it very much and cabled Adah:

I send my love and blessings to you [Aron and Adah] Shifrins, [Patricia] Sargents, [May] Bondys, [Ann] Forbes and all who helped bring the book out.

Mir saw Baba again in 1937 in Bombay in the same connection. Mir was now assisting a Dutch filmmaker named Louis van Gasteren, whom he had met in Canada in 1965.

Allan Cohen sent Baba newspaper clippings and a report of his recent work of spreading Baba's message against drugs. Baba cabled him around the 20th of July:
