Dear Bahá'í Friends:
The beloved Guardian is very anxious indeed to have the latest word in connection with the purchase of the Templeland in Germany, and the development of the design for the Temple.
Can you write me by return mail, letting me know just what the status is of both these very important matters?
He is anxious that the work on the Temple be expedited in every way; as he is fearful if the work does not begin soon, it may be found impossible to complete the task within the Ten Year period.
If you will write me, giving full details, it will be greatly appreciated by him.... 23 September 1955 (Summer School) Dear Bahá'í Friends:
This is just a brief note to acknowledge, on behalf of the beloved Guardian, your letter of August 21st.
He often remembers the dear friends in that land in his loving prayers; and supplicates that they may receive the necessary strength and guidance to carry forward in a befitting manner their share in this particular phase of the World Spiritual Crusade....
In the Guardian's own handwriting:
May the Beloved bless your continued and meritorious efforts and services, and enable you to extend continually the scope of your accomplishments,
Your true brother,
Shoghi
