The Guardian has decided that at present he feels the best use for half of this fund is to ask Mr. ... to give it to the National Spiritual Assembly of the Bahá’ís of Germany and Austria, to be used for the building of the Temple in Frankfurt. He has written Mr. ... to this effect; therefore in due course you should receive 50000 tumans, or its equivalent in German marks. When this gift is received from this devoted believer, the beloved Guardian would like you to write an appropriate letter of appreciation for the very generous gift; sending the letter of appreciation to the Guardian, so that he can see that it reaches Mr. ... safely. The beloved Guardian sends his loving greetings to each and every one of you.... LETTER OF 12 SEPTEMBER 1953 (YOUTH SUMMER SESSION) 12 September 1953 (Youth Summer Session) Dear Bahá’í Friends: The beloved Guardian has received the letter which you have sent him, and has instructed me to answer you on his behalf. Now that the World Crusade has been launched, and is very actively operating, as you have no doubt been informed by those believers who were privileged to attend the third Intercontinental Teaching Conference recently held in Stockholm, the Guardian is confident that you are fully conscious of the tremendous responsibilities placed on the shoulders of the German and Austrian Communities during the opening phase of this Ten-Year Crusade; and that you are, one and all, arising to fulfill those tasks in a befitting manner. He will pray for you.... [From the Guardian:] May the Almighty bless, guide and sustain you in your devoted endeavours, and enable you to win great victories in the service of His Faith, Your true brother, Shoghi LETTER OF 26 SEPTEMBER 1953 (SUMMER SCHOOL) 26 September 1953 (Summer School) Dear Bahá’í Friends: The beloved Guardian has received the loving letter you sent him, which was signed by all those who attended the Summer School this year; and has instructed me to answer you on his behalf. He was very happy to learn of the inspiration and the spiritual impulse given to that gathering by those revered Hands of the Cause of God from different countries who were there on that occasion. Now that you are all familiar with the goals the Guardian has set before the believers in the German and Austrian Communities, and particularly those requiring consideration first, he is confident that you will arise with one accord to accomplish these tasks in a befitting manner. His loving prayers will surround you, as you proceed with your historic labours.... P.S.—The Guardian appreciates the copy of the Program and the publicity which you enclosed.
