(56) December 18th, 1949
Spiritual Assembly of the Bahá’ís of Auckland, N.Z.
Dear Bahá’í friends:
Your letter of October 25th was received and our Guardian was delighted to hear the details of this property you have purchased, and which he trusts will grow to be a very important Bahá’í endowment. He will be pleased to receive the pictures of it.
He felt that no name could be more befitting than that of dear father Dunn. May the spirit this wonderful soul exemplified stream forth from your school and quicken those Islands.
With Bahá’í greetings,
R. Rabbani 65
P.S. Since writing this letter yours of Nov. 29 has been received. He will certainly pray for the success of your Summer School sessions so soon to begin and for the speedy development of the new school property you have just purchased.
[From the Guardian:]
May the Almighty bless bountifully your meritorious labours, guide and sustain you, at all times and under all circumstances, aid you to overcome every obstacle that confronts you and enable you to lend a tremendous impetus, in the days to come, to the progress of your historic work in that promising and far-away Island.
Your true and grateful brother,
Shoghi
