Dear John:

Thank you for your letter of June 15th, with regard to Dar-es-Salaam.

The Guardian attaches very great importance to the "incorporation" and "exemption" of any a.s.sembly; likewise the acquirement of any endowments.

Therefore, if you have not already sent directly to the Guardian a photostatic copy of the Exemption granted the Dar-es-Salaam a.s.sembly, I would like to suggest that one be sent to him through me.

Likewise if anything constructive develops with regard to the burial ground at Dar-es-Salaam, please let me know as soon as possible....

Dear Baha'i Friends,

...The Guardian has instructed me to write your a.s.sembly, calling attention to the manner in which questions of teaching activities in new areas and consolidation areas a.s.signed to any a.s.sembly, are carried out.

The National Spiritual a.s.sembly is the Body which is charged with the administrative responsibility of the tasks of the Ten Year Crusade.

Neither the Hands of the Cause nor their Boards have administrative responsibilities in connection with this work.

The members of the Boards are to report to the Hands of the Cause in the area regarding all situations, and of course in detail concerning any problem, so that the National a.s.sembly may take appropriate action.

The Hands of the Cause themselves will correspond with the National Spiritual a.s.sembly involved, calling their attention to the problem, so that the National a.s.sembly may take appropriate action.

The Guardian has instructed that the Hands of the Cause are not to correspond with the committees of the National Spiritual a.s.semblies, but directly with the National Spiritual a.s.semblies themselves.

The beloved Guardian greatly values the outstanding work which your a.s.sembly is doing. He will pray for your continued success. He sends you his loving greetings....
