Dear Baha'i Sister:
I am replying to your letter of September 21 apart from other N.S.A.
correspondence, as the beloved Guardian wishes to assure the Assembly that
the contribution for the Shrine of the Bab has been received. (A receipt
is herewith enclosed.)
He was very touched by the exemplary sense of duty and devotion to the
interests of the Faith which this sum represents. Please, on his behalf,
thank all the donors to the Yerrinbool Dormitory Fund for their prompt
response to his appeal regarding the Holy Shrine.
Already the contract for the stone-work of the Octagon has been placed in
Italy, and he hopes soon the preliminary arrangements locally can be made
for continuing the work.
With loving Baha'i greetings to all the Assembly members from the
Guardian,
Yours in His Service,
R. Rabbani.
[From the Guardian:]
Assuring you of my deepfelt and abiding appreciation of the contribution
of the Australian and New Zealand believers for so great and historic an
enterprise, and of my loving and ardent prayers for their spiritual
advancement and the steady expansion and consolidation of the great and
historic work in which they are so devotedly engaged.
Your true and grateful brother,
Shoghi.
