dge the receipt of the enclosed letter of Mrs. Dunn.

He was delighted to learn that the New Zealand members were able to make
the trip to Australia, and that such a highly satisfactory N.S.A. meeting
was held, in such a spirit of love and harmony. No doubt this experience
will prove of great value, not only to the National Assembly, but also to
the work of the Cause in the days to come.

Regarding the various matters you refer to in your letters: The Guardian
highly approves of the very kind and helpful arrangements made by Dr.
Bolton, by which his property at Yerrinbool will pass to the Faith at his
death and be used, according to the requirements of a future date, as
dictated by the discretion of the N.S.A. It is better that the believers,
subject to the judgements of the N.S.A., be left free to select any spot
that will prove most convenient for the majority for their summer-schools.

Regarding the Summer-Schools in general; although there is no objection to
their being under the direct management of a special Committee elected for
that purpose, they must be generally supervised by the N.S.A. in respect
to policy, etc. In other words they must be considered as a national and
not a purely local institution.

For purposes of convenience the N.S.A. may appoint as members of such
Committees, those who are situated near the Summer-Schools and are able to
pay direct attention to their affairs.

Concerning individual Baha'is' letters to the Guardian and his replies;
the friends are free to write to the Guardian when they feel the urge to
do so. However, for the believers to suppose that the Guardian's letters
to them, however full of loving encouragement they may be, give them any
special powers or authority to go against or ignore the wishes of their
local or national assembly, is to grossly misinterpret his true meaning.
The Guardian has been at great pains to build up the administrative order
and teach the friends how to use it. How could he possibly himself act in
such a way as to ignore or belittle the functions of these bodies? He
often encourages believers to work, to teach, to pursue some plan they
propose in their letters to him but this does not mean a veto of the
assembly's rights, or that the individual thus becomes free to ignore its
authority. He trusts this will make the matter quite plain to the friends.

Regarding the matter of Mother Dunn's letter; the N.S.A., will, he feels
sure, do all in their powe
