National Spiritual Assembly of the Baha'is of Australia and New Zealand.

Dear Baha'i Friends:

...I would like to add that the Guardian does not consider that it is
advisable for New Zealand to be separated in the near future from
Australia, and come under the jurisdiction of an independent National
Assembly. He considers that the present arrangement is the best one until
such time as there are more assemblies flourishing in New Zealand, and he
would consider the basis for a National Assembly strong enough there to
support such an institution....

Secretary, National Spiritual Assembly of the Baha'is of Australia and New
Zealand.

Dear Baha'i Brother:

...He was very happy to see that Mrs Dunn was able to attend the New
Zealand Baha'i Summer School. For a woman of her age, this was surely a
remarkable achievement, and must have been a great inspiration to the New
Zealand friends, coming as she did so freshly from the last
Intercontinental Teaching Conference held in New Delhi....

He attaches great importance to teaching the aboriginal Australians, and
also in converting more Maoris to the Faith, and hopes that the Baha'is
will devote some attention to contacting both of these minority groups....

[From the Guardian:]

_Dear and valued co-workers:_

_...The multiplication of Baha'i isolated centres, groups and local
assemblies, in both Australia and New Zealand--a process that has been
steadily and rapidly developing since the inauguration of the Ten-Year
Plan, is likewise of paramount importance in the years immediately ahead.
The development of these institutions, particularly in New Zealand, will
no doubt hasten the emergence of an independent National Spiritual
Assembly in that territory, and will lend a tremendous impetus to the
onward march of the Faith in those regions...._
