Letter of 23 September 1955
23 September 1955
Dear Bahá’í Friends:
The beloved Guardian is very anxious indeed to have the latest word in connection with the purchase of the 241 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….
