Letter of 17 March 1957
17 March 1957
Dear Bahá’í Sister:
…So far as … Mr. and Mrs. … and children are concerned, the Guardian wishes to know if they are residents of Germany, or Persians traveling in Germany, or there only for a short time. When did they arrive, and what are their plans.
The purpose of this information is that if they actually are Persian residents, traveling in Europe, then they will have to go on the Persian list, and come when their turn comes there. If they are permanently residing in Germany, then the situation is different….
P.S. Also please advise what their background is!
