Referring to your loving letter of March 19th with regard to the designs for the Temple in Frankfurt: The designs of the second competition were duly received by the beloved Guardian. He is now giving them very active consideration. As soon as some decision is reached, I will be glad to communicate with you at once. The members of the International Council greatly appreciate your warm Naw-Rúz greetings, which they reciprocate most heartily. We will pray at the Shrines that every success will attend your efforts; and that the most important subject of the Temple grounds and Temple land will be satisfactorily settled in the very near future.... LETTER OF 6 APRIL 1956 6 April 1956 Dear Bahá’í Friends: Enclosed is the beloved Guardian’s message to all Bahá’í Conventions. He would like you to please share it with the delegates and friends attending your National Convention. He hopes it will stimulate the teaching work, and particularly the pioneer work.... LETTER OF 7 APRIL 1956 7 April 1956 Dear Bahá’í Sister: Your loving letter of March 28th was duly received, carrying with it the strong spirit which animates the friends in Germany. The answers to the questions which you raised in your letter are as follows: The Guardian advises that he will leave to your discretion, just how the $1,000 which is available in America is to be used, in connection with the Endowment. In other words, you may purchase another piece of land for the $1,000; may apply it to repair of existing holdings, other than the Hazírá, such as the House in Esslingen—or put it in the Temple Fund. 1. The goals of the Ten Year Crusade include the purchase of an endowment for Germany. By referring to page 72 of the British Statistical Book, issued at the beginning of the Ten Year Crusade, you will note, that Germany is listed as requiring an endowment. I think the Assembly should correspond with the American National Spiritual Assembly, so that the One Thousand Dollars which Mrs. Collins has made available may be sent to you. 2. The beloved Guardian advises that he has ... on his list of those who wish to make the pilgrimage. As soon as it is possible for them to come, he will inform them. You might explain to these dear friends that there are a great many Persian Bahá’ís who wish to make the pilgrimage; and the Guardian feels he must invite them on the basis of the date of their application. In other words, those who asked for permission first would be the first to be invited to make the pilgrimage.
