The National Spiritual Assembly of the Baha'is of Alaska

Dear Baha'i Friends:

Our beloved Guardian has instructed me to write you on his behalf and
inform you that the Hand of the Cause, Mr. Varga, will shortly be
forwarding to your assembly the equivalent of five hundred English Pounds,
as the Guardian's contribution to your newly established National Fund.

He hopes that, in the formulation of your plans, particular attention will
be given to the all-important teaching work, the foundation of all the
activities of the Faith and the most urgent task facing the friends in
this critical period the world is passing through.

You may be sure he will pray for your success.

With Baha'i greetings,
R. Rabbani

The National Spiritual Assembly of the Baha'is of Alaska

Dear Baha'i Sister:

The Beloved Guardian has instructed me to write your Assembly in
connection with the important goal of your six year plan, of purchasing or
acquiring the site for the future Baha'i Temple in Alaska.

No publicity of any type should be given this matter at this time, but the
Committee should proceed with its work quietly and wisely. They should
simply try to purchase a piece of land, without indicating its purpose. No
contact should be had with the Government.

If your Assembly is not incorporated, or your local Assembly, then the
land can be registered in the name of individuals appointed by the
National Assembly.

Before actual purchase is made, the Guardian would appreciate advice as to
the location, size of land, cost, etc. This you can send to him through
me.

With loving Baha'i greetings,
I am,
Faithfully yours,
Leroy Ioas
