The British N.S.A. certainly has its work cut out for it in the near
future, what with this historic convention in the offing and a Temple to
be built!...

The drawings for the Temple in Kampala have reached the beloved Guardian,
and he has instructed me to answer you on his behalf regarding their
suitability.

Frankly, he was very discouraged by these drawings, as he feels that such
an ultra-modern style is wholly unsuitable for a Baha'i Temple.... It
seems to him that the modern influence is now so strong and widespread
that it is out of the question to get a discreet and dignified building
designed for our purposes.

...He is sorry to disappoint your Assembly, and regrets the time, trouble
and expense which has been involved in finding a design.

As he cabled your Assembly he also feels that to seek a new Temple site is
unwise; from descriptions received at the time of its purchase it seems
satisfactory, and there is enough land around it for possible expansion in
the future....

He feels therefore that until your hear from him you (had) better take no
further steps as regards a design for Kampala.

Dear John:

This is just a note on behalf of the beloved Guardian to answer the point
raised in one of your recent letters.

You say that in Irish, the word "Bab" is not appropriate to be used; and
as the word "Gate" is not as nice in translation in any language, he
suggests that in place of the word "Bab", you use "Herald"....

P.S. The Guardian approves your sending "Advice to Baha'is in British
Colonies" to other N.S.A.'s, but feels it is not necessary to send a copy
to the Colonial Office
