Dear Baha'i Friend:

The beloved Guardian is very anxious to secure the date on which your
National Assembly was incorporated.

He also wishes information as to the present value of the National Hazira
in Frankfurt.

Will you please send this information to him by return Air Mail, as he
wishes it promptly, so that a new statistical book concerning the Faith
may be issued promptly.

I am pleased to advise you that the health of the Guardian is good.
Likewise of course you will be interested to know that the work on the
drum of the beautiful Shrine of the Bab is progressing nicely. The columns
between the lancet windows are rising higher with each passing day. The
beauty of this Gem on Mount Carmel is attracting widespread interest, not
only on the part of the Baha'is, but of the public of the State of Israel
as well....

11 October 1952 (Summer School)

Dear Baha'i Friends:

Your letter addressed to the beloved Guardian and signed by all the
friends, has been received, and I have been instructed to answer you on
his behalf. He was most happy to see that such a large number of the
believers were present to gain renewed zeal and inspiration from this
important Baha'i institution.

As he has already informed the friends there, great work lies ahead for
Germany in the next ten years, and it is of the utmost importance that all
the Baha'is prepare themselves for that work now....

[From the Guardian:]

May the Almighty abundantly bless your high endeavours, guide your steps,
remove every obstacle in your path, and assist you to lend a tremendous
impetus to the progress of our beloved Faith,

Your true and grateful brother,
Shoghi
