Dear Bahá’í Friends:
The beloved Guardian has been greatly pleased with the reports he has
received of the progress of the teaching work in Oxford. He feels the
friends in that city have undertaken their responsibility diligently and
successfully.
It is his feeling that the Faith should be firmly established in
Cambridge, which is also one of the great centres of learning in the
British Isles. He understands that Cambridge is a goal city of the
Crusade, and he feels that the time has now arrived for the opening of
that city and the expansion of the teaching work there.
He would appreciate a report from you as to the progress of the Faith in
that important city. This report should be addressed to me, and I will
inform him of its contents....

Dear Bahá’í Friends:
The beloved Guardian has directed me to write you in connection with the
purchase of the Hazíratu’l-Quds for the city of London. The Guardian is
very hopeful that your Assembly will be able to complete this important
matter in the near future.
In connection with the purchase of Hazíratu’l-Quds, under the Ten Year
Crusade there are a total of 49 to be procured. 4 of them were procured
during the first year of the Crusade.
At the Guardian’s direction, I have written the National Assemblies
involved, calling for the purchase of 17 Hazíratu’l-Quds of the 45, during
this year. One of these 17 Hazíratu’l-Quds is the one in London.
The Guardian attaches the greatest importance to the fulfilment of this
aspect of the Ten Year Crusade; and sincerely hopes your Assembly will
concentrate on the purchase of the Hazíratu’l-Quds for London, so that it
may be consummated as soon as possible....
