Our distinguished co-worker, Millie Collins, Vice-Chairman of the International Council is acquainting you with the pressing problems and the projected plans and the contracts afoot designed to accelerate the process initiated in the Holy Land for the furtherance of these supreme, momentous, highly meritorious objectives. Communicate this message to all National Assemblies. (14:1) Invite Valiant Co-Sharers in Holy Enterprise to Join Me in Prayers- Announce to National Assemblies of East and West that hallowed, historic enterprise which posterity will hail as most befitting tribute by present generation of builders of embryonic World Order of Baha'u'llah in memory of the Prophet-Herald of Baha'i Dispensation is now entering new stage of development presaging the approaching year of final consummation. (14:2) Owing to magnitude of task undertaken, manifold responsibilities already shouldered by Baha'i communities of East and West, no further step beyond construction of Arcade, erection of crowning Parapet was originally envisaged. Sudden unexpected worsening of international situation, necessity to effect economy, exigencies attending rise of World Administrative Center of Faith impelled me subsequently to place contract in Italy for provision of stones required for both Octagon and Dome, leaving resumption of construction work to indefinite future date.
(14:3)
