full legal
recognition from the authorities and thus become an effective and powerful
organ for the administration of Baha'i affairs throughout the British
Isles. But, if your Assembly feels that such a step would be premature, he
suggests that you should have the property registered in the name of the
Palestine Branch of the American N.S.A., until such time as your own
Assembly would be in a position to acquire full legal recognition from the
British authorities, and will be entitled to hold property in Palestine.
In the meantime the American N.S.A. can issue a statement testifying that
this property is registered only temporarily in their name, and that as
soon as the incorporation is effected they will have it transferred to the
name of the National Assembly of the British Isles.

Concerning the material which your Assembly has been requested to provide
for the writing of a history of the Cause in England, the Guardian feels
the advisability of making as few references to individuals as possible.
He further suggests that emphasis be placed on two major events, the
Master's visit to England, and the publication of Dr. Esslemont's "New
Era" which, indeed, constitutes a real landmark in the history of the
Faith in that country.

There is another point to which the Guardian wishes to draw the attention
of your N.S.A. It is the importance which national Baha'i summer schools
are acquiring in the development and spread of the Cause. Two of these, as
you know, have already been established and are now regularly functioning,
that of America with its three branches in Green Acre, Lou-Helen Ranch and
Geyserville, and that of Esslingen in Germany which in the last two years
has considerably developed, and has attracted the attention of non-German
believers throughout the Baha'i world. The Guardian suggests that pending
the establishment of a similar Baha'i Summer School in England, your
Assembly should take into consideration the most effective way in which it
can co-operate with the German friends in furthering the interests of
their summer school at Esslingen. Meanwhile an effort should be made by
our English believers to take the necessary steps for the formation of a
similar institution in Great Britain. Many Baha'i travellers in Europe,
mostly American, have had this summer the opportunity of attending
meetings and classes of the friends in Esslingen. Mr. and Mrs. Greven,
