l in working out this important
matter.

The Guardian felt it would be inadvisable to have an exhibit of proposals
for the Temple, until such time as the final plan is approved. Thus you
should hold the exhibit in abeyance until later. I am having sent you by
separate mail, the designs, photographs, etc. which you sent to the
Guardian.

The Guardian assures you of his prayers in your behalf, and sends you his
loving Greetings....

LETTER OF 3 FEBRUARY 1956

3 February 1956

Dear Baha'i Sister:

The Beloved Guardian has directed me to write to your Assembly explaining
his view that now that the National Hazira has been established and is
well able to take care of the national office of the National Assembly;
that the office of the Secretary of the National Assembly should be
established there as soon as convenient.

From the Hazira, all the national administrative activities should
emanate, and this cannot be done unless the National Secretary's office is
established there. He requests your Assembly study the matter and see if
it cannot soon work out some plan whereby the National Secretary's office
can permanently be established in Frankfurt in the National Hazira.

The Guardian assures the members of the Assembly of his prayers in their
behalf. He sends you his loving Greetings....

LETTER OF 20 MARCH 1956

Dear Baha'i Sister:

Thank you for your loving letter of March 10th, with regard to the
translations into Russian.

I hope the pamphlet which Mrs. Sommerau has prepared will soon be
published, so that there will be literature available for this teaching
work.

The Guardian is extremely anxious of course for proper contacts to be made
with the believers behind the Iron Curtain. However the utmost
circumspection must be used; and certainly no one must enter into
correspondence with them. I think you should inform ... that the Guardian
is anxious for the closest contacts to be opened and maintained, but not
through correspondence. Likewise when any Baha'i goes behind the Iron
Curtain and contacts the believers, it must be done very quietly and
carefully.

Do I understand from the letter that ... is intending to enter behind the
Iron Curtain to visit the believers? This would be commendable if it can
be done....
