Haifa, Israel,
November 30, 1952
National Spiritual Assembly of the Baha'is of Australia and New Zealand,
Mrs. D. E. Dive, Treasurer,
Dear Baha'i Friends:
Your loving letter of September 14th has been received by the beloved
Guardian, and he has asked me to acknowledge it on his behalf.
The Guardian will greatly appreciate your thanking each one of the
contributors to this fund.
He is very appreciative of the outstanding services and sacrifices of the
friends in Australia and New Zealand. He feels they are bringing renown to
the Faith, and laying a firm foundation for the great Crusade ahead.
The Guardian will pray for the success of all the activities of the
friends, and for the guidance and confirmation of the National Assembly.
The funds representing the proceeds of sale of the shares, given by Mrs.
... have come to hand, amounting to 346.9.10 Sterling. The Guardian has
asked that you express his deep appreciation to Mrs. ... for this loving
contribution, which will be used in the construction of the Shrine of the
Bab.
The construction work on the drum of the Shrine is going forward quite
rapidly. The tall columns between the windows are rapidly nearing
completion, adding to the beauty of this glorious structure. The Guardian
is hopeful that this work can continue until the building is completely
finished.
With warm Baha'i greetings,
Leroy C. Ioas
Assistant Secretary.
