Convenant, and the Teaching
Tablets.
With regard to the Temple Land--The Guardian feels this must be purchased
in Frankfurt, or its environs. He does not approve of buying in Offenbach.
Thus he feels you can secure the land anywhere in Frankfurt or its
environs, where it seems best suitable for our purposes.
The new location near Eschborn would seem satisfactory, but you must be
sure there will be no trouble with permits to build.
He feels you should again review the entire matter most carefully, and he
hopes you will soon find the location which will be the site of the House
of Worship in Germany.
With regard to the funds--he feels it is best that you allow them to remain
in the Bank as at present.
The Guardian sends you his loving greetings.
He is praying for you, and for the success of your work in the Faith....

Dear Baha'i Sister:
Your loving letter of October 17th was duly received, and its contents
presented to the Beloved Guardian. He has directed me to reply as follows:
He feels it is more advisable for ... to remain in Budapest, where the
Faith needs every help it can get, rather than go to either Austria or
Germany.
Of course, the terrible events in Hungary may have changed the whole
aspect of this important matter, and the question not now be in need of an
answer. The Guardian hopes that ... has not suffered nor met with
misfortune in that unhappy city.
At the same time, the Faith is needed more than ever, and it may be the
depressing conditions existing, may make it possible for more teaching
work to be done....

Dear Baha'i Sister:
The Beloved Guardian has directed me to write you concerning some copies
of the prints which Mr. Rocholl has made of the Temple Design for
Frankfurt.
He would like to secure 15 copies of the photo sent by Mr. Rocholl, which
shows the Temple in White lines, and the background black.
The Temple itself, should be no larger than the Shrine in the Colored
pictures of the Shrine of the Bab. Thus the measurement of the pictures to
be sent are 21 cm by 13 cm. There need be little space below or over the
Temple, but let the black run out to the edges, on both sides.
Do I make clear what the Guardian wants? If you will show Mr. Rocholl a
picture of the Shrine of the Bab colored, as printed in America for sale,
and which appears in the fron
