|  | Letter of 18 November 1954 | 
	| 1 | Dear Bahá'í Sister: | 
	| 2 | This will acknowledge receipt of your kind letter of 
November 9th, advising that you have received the gift of 
Three Thousand Dollars, which the beloved Guardian has 
sent for your Temple fund. | 
	| 3 | I will inform the Guardian of your deep appreciation of 
his gift. | 
	| 4 | So far as the establishment of the Israel Branch of the 
National Spiritual Assembly of Germany and Austria is 
concerned, there is nothing for you to do in connection 
therewith at this time.  This matter will be handled here in 
the Holy Land.  When it is consummated, it may be 
necessary and advisable for your National Assembly to pass 
certain resolutions in connection with it, but I will inform 
you about this in due course. | 
	| 5 | At the moment it does not seem propitious for the 
establishment of further Israel Branches at this time; and the 
Guardian has therefore instructed that this matter be 
delayed a little longer.  You may be sure however it will be 
taken care of in due course. | 
	| 6 | With loving greetings to you and all the members of the 
National Assembly.... |
