Dear Bahá'í Friends:
Your loving letter of October 3rd was presented to the Beloved Guardian.
The Guardian has directed me to assure your Assembly, that he is praying for the removal of every obstacle in the way of the purchase of the site for the Temple at Frankfurt.
He hopes you and your committee will continue to press the matter vigorously, as he hopes this important matter, can be successfully achieved in the near future.
When you have concluded the purchase, he would appreciate a cable from you.
He sends his loving greetings to each of you.... 22 October 1956 (Teaching Conference) Dear Bahá'í Friends:
The beloved Guardian has received the letter which you all signed, dated September 30th, and has instructed me to answer you on his behalf.
When we stop to think that we are already in the fourth year of the World Spiritual Crusade, we realize that we cannot afford to look at our past accomplishments, but must face the future and the tremendous tasks which lie ahead.
He knows the attainment of the objectives of the Crusade is the concern deepest in the heart of each believer; and he is confident this Conference has sent forth those who attended with a renewed determination to do all in their power individually and collectively, as the days and weeks pass, to ensure its ultimate success....
In the Guardian's own handwriting:
May the Almighty guide you in your constant endeavours for the spread of the Faith, and aid you to extend continually the scope of your valued activities, and lend, in the days to come, a great impetus to its progress and the consolidation of its institutions.
Your true brother,
Shoghi
