Letter of 11 June 1954
11 June 1954
Dear Bahá’í Friends:
The beloved Guardian has directed me to write you in connection with the purchase of the Hazíratu’l-Quds for the city of London. The Guardian is very hopeful that your Assembly will be able to complete this important matter in the near future.
In connection with the purchase of Hazíratu’l-Quds, under the 332 Ten Year Crusade there are a total of 49 to be procured. 4 of them were procured during the first year of the Crusade.
At the Guardian’s direction, I have written the National Assemblies involved, calling for the purchase of 17 Hazíratu’l-Quds of the 45, during this year. One of these 17 Hazíratu’l-Quds is the one in London.
The Guardian attaches the greatest importance to the fulfilment of this aspect of the Ten Year Crusade; and sincerely hopes your Assembly will concentrate on the purchase of the Hazíratu’l-Quds for London, so that it may be consummated as soon as possible….
