LETTER OF 8 JUNE 1956

8 June 1956

Dear Baha'i Co-workers:

The Beloved Guardian has directed me to write you, in response to your
recent letter to him, with regard to the modified Temple plans of Mr.
Rocholl.

As he understands the situation, your NSA is not pleased with the modified
plans, and Mr. Rocholl says he will submit one or two others. The Guardian
will await receipt of these further modifications, if it does not delay
the matter too long.

So far as a modification of Mr. Grund, he feels it would delay the project
too long to wait for new plans from him; unless of course, he has them
ready for sending now.

In other words, the Guardian will await for a reasonable time, the receipt
of further plans of Mr. Rocholl, before making final decision; and if by
that time, any modifications have come from Mr. Grund, he will consider
them; but he does not feel we can wait now, for an entire new development
by Mr. Grund, unless he has it under way....

Dear Baha'i Co-workers:

The Beloved Guardian, as you know, is very anxious to have the matter of
the land for the Temple near Frankfurt decided as quickly as possible, and
he is hoping the decision of the court will be favorably announced in the
near future.

Will you please cable me, just as soon as a decision is given, just what
it is, so I may hand it to the Guardian at once....

conferences they have held at different times and in different
