LETTER OF 9 APRIL 1957

9 April 1957

Dear Baha'i Sister:

Your loving letter of April 2nd, has been received by the Beloved
Guardian, and he has directed me to acknowledge it on his behalf.

He is happy to receive word of the progress which you are making in
connection with the purchase of the Temple Land, and the securing of
necessary building permits. He hopes you will encounter no serious
difficulties in connection with the building permit, so that work on this
most important project, may start at an early date.

He will pray for your Assembly, that you may be able to overcome all
hindrances, and that the path may be smoothed for an early conclusion of
this troublesome matter.

So far as the land in Offenbach is concerned, and the plan of the city
that we finance road work is concerned--this is entirely impossible. The
cost is too high, and furthermore we should not become involved in local
civic projects.

He sends you his loving greetings....
