May His Spirit ever shine upon, and warm, their hearts. May His precepts ever guide their footsteps, and may His unfailing grace, vouchsafed from the realms on high, be poured forth upon them in such abundance as to enable them to achieve, in the years immediately ahead, total and complete victory. Your true brother, Shoghi 7 July 1956
Digging through the reports for 1956, outside of the ones already mentioned, there were few real good ones. In Banning, California, Ground Observer Corps spotters watched a "balloon-like object make three rectangular circuits around the town." In Plymouth, New Hampshire, two GOC spotters reported "a bright yellow object which left a trail, similar to a jet, moving slowly at a very high altitude."
Please refer to my letter of November 23, 1955, item 6, in which it is stated the Guardian felt “the cost should run about $300,000 or a little more; certainly on the outside, not more than $400,000.” The Guardian has directed me to advise you, that he now feels the maximum which should be spent on the construction, is $300,000 and no more.... 19 May 1956

He asks that you write me, giving the status of this matter, and when you feel the purchase can be consummated.... 30 November 1956 Dear Bahá’í Sister: Your loving letters of November 19th and 22nd were duly received by the Beloved Guardian, and he has directed me to acknowledge them on his behalf.
May the Almighty guide you in your constant endeavours for the spread of the Faith, and aid you to extend continually the scope of your valued activities, and lend, in the days to come, a great impetus to its progress and the consolidation of its institutions. Your true brother, Shoghi 9 November 1956
The Guardian hopes you will be able to expedite all these matters, as he feels, as I have written previously, there is no time to be lost, if the Temple is to be completed before the close of the Ten Year Crusade. The Guardian sends you his loving greetings.... 26 August 1956 Dear Bahá’í Sister: Your loving letter of July 17th was duly received, and its contents presented to the Beloved Guardian.
In addition, the 1956 budget will recommend appropriations to start six new reclamation and more than thirty new Corps of Engineers projects of varying size. Going projects and investigations of potential new resource developments will be continued.
