be concentrated on consolidation, primarily.

The Guardian's decision regard Mr. ... design is final; it is too extreme
for any modification to render it possible as a temple....

Dear Baha'i Brother:

Your loving letter of December 1st has been received.

The Guardian attaches the utmost importance to the development of the
Faith in the Pacific Islands. Wherever an opportunity opens for expansion
of the work in one of the Islands, he feels that opportunity should be
seized and exploited to the fullest extent. Thus, if it is possible for
anyone to proceed to the Solomon Islands to assist the Blums there, it
would be very, very helpful.

As the Guardian understands the situation, the Blums have not left the
Solomon Islands, but are expanding their business and service. Thus the
work which Mr. Blum previously engaged in, of driving a taxi, is now open
to someone else; and therefore the pioneer to go to the Solomons would
find a position waiting for him.

The Guardian understands that the Blums are very well thought of and
respected throughout the Solomon Islands.

I am sending a copy of this correspondence to the Persian N.S.A., and
encouraging them to send pioneers to the Solomon Islands. You may wish to
also correspond with them....

Dear Baha'i Friends:

The beloved Guardian has directed me to write you in connection with the
translation of Baha'i literature into languages as called for by the Ten
Year Crusade.

31 languages have been assigned to your Assembly; and of these, 24
translations have been made or are under way. The Guardian feels this is a
very fine record, and one of which you may be proud.

At the same time he feels special effort should be made to complete the
translations. He has no record of translations of 7 languages. Will you
please send me a letter for him, indicating what the status of each of
these languages is....

Dear Baha'i Friends:

The beloved Guardian has directed me to write you in connection with the
purchase of an endowment for East Africa.

As you know, a contribution has been made by the Hand of the Cause, Mrs.
Amelia E. Collins, of One Thousand Dollars for the purchase of the
endowment for Kampala. The Guardian feels a small piece of property whi
