Letter of 28 July 1952

28 July 1952

To the Treasurer of the National Spiritual Assembly

Dear Bahá’í Friends:
Your loving letter of July 14th has been received by the beloved Guardian, and he has asked me to acknowledge it in his behalf.
The contributions which have been made to the Shrine of the Báb are deeply appreciated by him. Receipts are enclosed herewith, which he would appreciate your giving to the contributors.
The Guardian is very deeply impressed with the wonderful work being done by the Canadian Bahá’ís. With their limited numbers and resources, they are rendering unique and outstanding services. Certainly they will be richly blessed and confirmed by the Master.
He is hoping that additional victories will be gained by the Canadian Bahá’ís during the present year, so as to lay the proper foundation for the great Teaching Crusade of the next ten years, and the important part that Canada must play in this world undertaking.
The work on the drum of the Shrine is proceeding rapidly now, and its beauty is more evident as the work progresses. The beloved Guardian is very hopeful that the work can continue on the Shrine uninterruptedly until both the drum and the dome have been finished.

With warm Bahá’í greetings,

Leroy Ioas
