The Beloved Guardian has asked me to write to you, explaining that while
the question of a Dome for a Bahá’í Temple, is not specified in the
Teachings, yet he feels that for the Temple in Germany, you should plan a
building with a central Dome. He thinks it would enhance the beauty of the
structure now being planned for Frankfurt....

Dear Bahá’í Friends:
The beloved Guardian is very anxious to secure, as quickly as possible,
data concerning the Hazíratu’l-Quds which have been acquired in connection
with the goals of the Ten Year Crusade. To this end, he would very greatly
appreciate your sending me by return air mail the information concerning
the Hazíratu’l-Quds in Vienna.
He would like to know the area of land involved, the size of the building,
so far as number of rooms is concerned, the original purchase price of the
Hazíratu’l-Quds, the expenses of the transaction, and then the total cost.
The Guardian asks that this be sent to me by return air mail....

Dear Bahá’í Sister:
Your loving letter of February 25th has just come to hand.
It was a great pleasure for me to have been able to visit the friends in
Frankfurt and Stuttgart; and we will long remember the loving hospitality
which was extended to us by all the friends.
I do not know what more can be done in behalf of... Certain members if the
American N.S.A. are in close touch with the authorities in Washington; and
if they have written you that nothing more can be done, I think that is
the last word; at least I have nothing more which I can suggest.
Please give my deep love to all the members of the National Assembly....
LETTER OF 29 MARCH 1955

Dear Bahá’í Friends:
On April 21st we will enter the last year of the second phase of the Ten
Year Crusade. As you know, one of the objectives of this second phase is
the rapid multiplication of Assemblies, Groups and Centres throughout the
world.
During the past year, a great deal has been accomplished by the friends in
their efforts to disperse from the large centres of population in order to
build up the goal cities and establish new centres. However we have not
accomplished a great deal in the way of increasing the number of Bahá’ís,
nor the number of Spiritual Assemblies.
The beloved Guardian sincerely hopes you will make it a point of major
study and consideration on the part of your Assembly, so that the entire
Community may lend itself to the accomplishment of this great goal during
the coming year. Foundations must be laid for many more Assemblies. The
friends must disperse from the large centres of population. Our teaching
work must become so sanctified and penetrating that many, many souls will
be confirmed. The friends should go forward on this great task in a very
determined manner in order to establish as many new Assemblies during the
coming year as are possible.
