Dear John:
The beloved Guardian has instructed me to write and inform your a.s.sembly of the following:
The National Spiritual a.s.sembly of Central and East Africa should be elected by 76 delegates, which is four times nineteen. This number should be apportioned amongst the spiritual a.s.semblies within the countries the future N.S.A. will represent. He leaves an equitable distribution of the number of delegates to the a.s.semblies, to your a.s.sembly to decide.
The British N.S.A. certainly has its work cut out for it in the near future, what with this historic convention in the offing and a Temple to be built!...

The drawings for the Temple in Kampala have reached the beloved Guardian, and he has instructed me to answer you on his behalf regarding their suitability.
Frankly, he was very discouraged by these drawings, as he feels that such an ultra-modern style is wholly unsuitable for a Baha'i Temple.... It seems to him that the modern influence is now so strong and widespread that it is out of the question to get a discreet and dignified building designed for our purposes.
...He is sorry to disappoint your a.s.sembly, and regrets the time, trouble and expense which has been involved in finding a design.
As he cabled your a.s.sembly he also feels that to seek a new Temple site is unwise; from descriptions received at the time of its purchase it seems satisfactory, and there is enough land around it for possible expansion in the future....
He feels therefore that until your hear from him you (had) better take no further steps as regards a design for Kampala.
