October 3rd was presented to the Beloved Guardian.

The Guardian has directed me to assure your Assembly, that he is praying
for the removal of every obstacle in the way of the purchase of the site
for the Temple at Frankfurt.

He hopes you and your committee will continue to press the matter
vigorously, as he hopes this important matter, can be successfully
achieved in the near future.

When you have concluded the purchase, he would appreciate a cable from
you.

He sends his loving greetings to each of you....

22 October 1956 (Teaching Conference)

Dear Baha'i Friends:

The beloved Guardian has received the letter which you all signed, dated
September 30th, and has instructed me to answer you on his behalf.

When we stop to think that we are already in the fourth year of the World
Spiritual Crusade, we realize that we cannot afford to look at our past
accomplishments, but must face the future and the tremendous tasks which
lie ahead.

He knows the attainment of the objectives of the Crusade is the concern
deepest in the heart of each believer; and he is confident this Conference
has sent forth those who attended with a renewed determination to do all
in their power individually and collectively, as the days and weeks pass,
to ensure its ultimate success....

[From the Guardian:]

May the Almighty guide you in your constant endeavours for the spread of
the Faith, and aid you to extend continually the scope of your valued
activities, and lend, in the days to come, a great impetus to its progress
and the consolidation of its institutions.

Your true brother,
Shoghi

that is permissible, but no change in the size or proportions should be
made.

As previously advised, the Guardian feels this Temple must be constructed
at a cost of not to exceed $300,000. He is willing to consider raising
