Representation at Convention
I have already replied to your cable in connection with the representation of groups of less than nine adult believers at the annual Convention and the matter of proxy, the latter being left to the discretion of the National Spiritual Assembly. Should the conditions be altered, and the number of Bahá’í localities multiply, the situation will have to be considered afresh and a new basis for representation adopted.
