LETTER OF 24 SEPTEMBER 1956 (SUMMER SCHOOL)

24 September 1956 (Summer School)

Dear Baha'i Friends:

The beloved Guardian has received your letter of August 17th, signed by
those present at the Summer School, and has instructed me to answer you on
his behalf.

He was happy to see that the Hands of the Cause were represented there,
also that Baha'is from different countries were present.

The friends can gain much spiritual reinforcement by drawing on the inner
strength of their fellow-Baha'is; and the Guardian hopes those who went to
Esslingen this summer received this renewed power from mingling with other
Baha'is; and returned to their homes more determined than ever to carry
forward in the speediest and most efficient manner possible--the work of
the World Spiritual Crusade.

He appreciates the prayers of the friends, and sends you all his loving
greetings....

[From the Guardian:]

May the Spirit of Baha'u'llah sustain you in your splendid activities, aid
you to acquire a fuller grasp of the fundamental and distinguishing
features and teachings of our beloved Faith, and lend a great impetus to
its onward march,

Your true brother,
Shoghi

LETTER OF 27 SEPTEMBER 1956

27 September 1956

Dear Baha'i Friends:

The Beloved Guardian has directed me to write you to ascertain the present
status of the purchase of the new site for the Temple in Frankfurt.

As you know he attaches the utmost importance to this matter, and regrets
that it has not been consummated up to the present time. He is becoming
fearful that the Temple will not be built in Germany, during the Ten Year
Crusade, unless there is some strong immediate action taken in connection
with the purchase of the land, and then the prosecution of the
construction work.

Will your Assembly please let me know by return airmail, what the status
is of the land purchase....
