Recognition of Preeminent Services

1 |
Highly gratified at unceasing, compelling evidences of exalted
spirit of Bahá'í stewardship animating American Bahá'í Community, as
attested by the alacrity of its national representatives in executing the
first Temple contract, their promptitude in extending effective assistance
to their Persian brethren, their vigilance in safeguarding integrity
of the Faith in the City of the Covenant and their vigor in prosecuting
the national campaign of publicity.

In recognition of preeminent services continually enriching the
record of achievements associated with preeminent community of the
Bahá'í world, I am arranging transfer of extensive, valuable property
acquired in precincts of Shrines on Mount Carmel to name of Palestine
Branch of American Assembly.

Happy to announce completion of plans and specifications for
erection of arcade surrounding the Báb's Sepulcher, constituting the
first step in the process destined to culminate in construction of the
dome anticipated by `Abdu'l-Bahá and marking consummation of
enterprise initiated by Him fifty years ago according to instructions
given Him by Bahá'u'lláh.
