Do I make clear what the Guardian wants? If you will show Mr. Rocholl a picture of the Shrine of the Báb colored, as printed in America for sale, and which appears in the frontispiece of Vol. 9 of the Bahá’í World, he can have the pictures made accordingly.
The pictures should be black and white, glossy, and on as light paper as possible. By light I mean, in weight.
Please cable me on receipt if this is clear, and if Mr. Rocholl can provide the 15 copies at an early date....
Letter of 1 January 1957
1 January 1957
Mrs. Anna Grossmann:
Your loving letter of December 16th was duly received, and its contents presented to the Beloved Guardian.
Needless to say, he is very disturbed with the recent developments with regard to the Temple land and building. This matter has gone along for a long period of time, and he feels it is now reaching the point where it reflects on the Faith. He feels very definitely that if there should be a failure in connection with the Temple to be built in Frankfurt, it would be a great set back to the Faith, not only in Germany, but in all Europe.
