National Spiritual Assembly of the Baha'is of Australia and New Zealand.

Dear Baha'i Friends:

Your loving letter of March 11th, addressed to the beloved Guardian has
come to hand, and he has asked me to answer it in his behalf.

The kind contribution which you made to the Shrine of the Bab fund has
been received, and receipt therefor is enclosed herewith.

After checking with our bank here, I find they feel it would be simpler if
you made future remittances on the basis of a bank transfer instead of a
draft.

Answering the specific questions which you propound, the information is as
follows:

1. The full name and address of the bank is:
Bank Leumi le Israel,
Haifa, Israel.

2. The exact name of our account is:
Shoghi Rabbani.

The beloved Guardian values very deeply the admirable manner in which the
friends in Australia and New Zealand are carrying on their teaching work.
He will pray that they will meet with every possible success, and gain new
victories for the Faith as their plan progresses.

The Guardian likewise wishes you to express to each one who joined in the
contribution you sent, his loving appreciation.

The work of the Shrine is progressing. The octagon and the pinnacles are
now completed, so far as the marble work is concerned. The Guardian is
hopeful the entire project may continue uninterruptedly so that it might
be completed by Naw-Ruz period next year.

With warm Baha'i greetings, I am
Leroy Ioas,
Assistant Secretary.
