In connection with your question of how you should proceed, if it is
suitable to ask for designs by architects outside of Germany; this of
course is left for you to handle in your own way. Of course it is suitable
for you to correspond with the Spiritual Assemblies in the countries
involved, asking them to be of assistance in this important matter.
The Guardian is very hopeful that you may be able to conclude the purchase
of the land, by the middle of April. It will be a great victory for the
Faith, if it can be accomplished within the first year of the Ten-Year
Crusade.
The Guardian assures you of his prayers in your behalf, that every
obstacle may be removed from your path, and your actions be both guided
and confirmed....
P.S. In your letter of February 3rd; the maps attached; and your letter of
February 7th, you refer to Steinbacher Hohe as No. C. while in your letter
of February 5th, you refer to it as No. B. So that all documents may have
the same reference, I have changed your letter of February 5th, to show
Steinbacher Hohe, as No. C.; and Forsthausstrasse as No. B.

LETTER OF 28 MAY 1954
28 May 1954
Dear Bahá’í Friends:
The beloved Guardian has instructed me to write you concerning an action
recently taken by your National Assembly, as published in your
January-February Bahá’í News, that non-Bahá’ís may attend 19-Day Feasts if
“the earnestness of their interest in the Faith” is vouched for by a
declared believer.
The Guardian wishes me to direct your attention to the fact that none of
the institutions of the Faith nor its cardinal principles may be changed
under any circumstances.
