Of course, the Temple cannot be built until the land has been secured. He
requests and urges that your Assembly expedite this important matter in
every way possible. He is fearful, if work on the Temple is not started at
an early date, it may be impossible to build the Temple in Germany during
the Ten Year Crusade.
He assures you of his prayers in your behalf. He sends his loving
Greetings....
P.S. The questions of materials to be used, he leaves to your Assembly.
You should endeavor to use such materials as are not too expensive, and
yet satisfactory for the Temple.
LETTER OF 15 NOVEMBER 1956
15 November 1956
Dearly Beloved Sister:
The Beloved Guardian has directed me to write you concerning the purchase
of the Endowment for Austria. He hopes very much it will be possible for
you to purchase this Endowment before Ridván 1957.
He asks that you write me, giving the status of this matter, and when you
feel the purchase can be consummated....
LETTER OF 30 NOVEMBER 1956
30 November 1956
Dear Bahá’í Sister:
Your loving letters of November 19th and 22nd were duly received by the
Beloved Guardian, and he has directed me to acknowledge them on his
behalf.
He greatly appreciates, and was deeply touched, by your kind sentiments on
the occasion of the 35th anniversary of his appointment as Guardian. The
spirit of devotion and consecration of the German Believers, and its
National Assembly, augurs well for the future of the Faith in your
country. He is sure the Master will both guide and confirm you in your
work, as you carry forth the mandates of His Convenant, and the Teaching
Tablets.
With regard to the Temple Land—The Guardian feels this must be purchased
in Frankfurt, or its environs. He does not approve of buying in Offenbach.
Thus he feels you can secure the land anywhere in Frankfurt or its
environs, where it seems best suitable for our purposes.
The new location near Eschborn would seem satisfactory, but you must be
sure there will be no trouble with permits to build.
He feels you should again review the entire matter most carefully, and he
hopes you will soon find the location which will be the site of the House
of Worship in Germany.
With regard to the funds—he feels it is best that you allow them to remain
in the Bank as at present.
The Guardian sends you his loving greetings.
He is praying for you, and for the success of your work in the Faith....

Dear Bahá’í Sister:
Your loving letter of October 17th was duly received, and its contents
presented to the Beloved Guardian. He has directed me to reply as follows:
He feels it is more advisable for ... to remain in Budapest, where the
Faith needs every help it can get, rather than go to either Austria or
Germany.
