Dear Baha'i Sister:

The Beloved Guardian has directed me to write your Assembly, to ask the
status of the purchase of the Endowment in Austria, which he hopes will be
purchased shortly. This should be a relatively simple matter, and he hopes
it can be followed through promptly.

He likewise is anxious regarding the incorporation of local Assemblies. He
hopes your Assembly will review the matter further at this time, to see if
more Assemblies cannot be incorporated at this time....
