Dear Bahá’í Friends: I cabled you at the instruction of our beloved Guardian today as follows: “Your cable October 15 presume decision temple design has no bearing on court decision October 26 is this correct? Do you have advance information as to what decision will be? Guardian has made no decision but seems to prefer Azamat by Hopfer Stuttgart. Please cable proposed height and width.
The Guardian hopes therefore that he will receive at an early date the revision which is proposed of the “Azamat” design, which should not be materially changed, but may be simplified so that work may proceed at an early date on the construction. The Guardian is fearful if this matter continues to drag, the Temple may not be completed during the period of the Ten Year Crusade.
I presume by the time this letter reaches you, you will have cabled the proposed height and width. The Guardian would greatly value your giving him the detailed information regarding “Azamat” just as promptly as possible.... 28 October 1955 Dear Bahá’í Friends: Your letter of September 26th has been received by the beloved Guardian, and he has instructed me to answer you on his behalf.
"In about four days' time Azamat rode over to the fortress. As his usual custom was, he went to see Grigori Aleksandrovich, who always used to give him sweetmeats to eat. I was present. The conversation was on the subject of horses, and Pechorin began to sound the praises of Kazbich's Karagyoz. What a mettlesome horse it was, and how handsome! A perfect chamois!
With his keen, bright eyes he has looked into mine as if about to speak!... I shall die, Kazbich, if you will not sell him to me! said Azamat, with trembling voice. "I could hear him burst out weeping, and I must tell you that Azamat was a very stubborn lad, and that not for anything could tears be wrung from him, even when he was a little younger.
At times we used to take it into our heads to tease him, and then his eyes would become bloodshot and his hand would fly to his dagger immediately. "'You'll be losing your life if you are not careful, Azamat, I would say to him. 'That hot head of yours will get you into trouble.
"'If I had a stud of a thousand mares, said Azamat, 'I would give it all for your Karagyoz! "'Yok! I would not take it! said Kazbich indifferently. "'Listen, Kazbich, said Azamat, trying to ingratiate himself with him. 'You are a kindhearted man, you are a brave horseman, but my father is afraid of the Russians and will not allow me to go on the mountains.
"'Good heavens! I said; 'why, I tell you, Kazbich was here on the other side of the river just a moment ago, and we shot at him. How easily you might have run up against him, you know! These mountaineers are a vindictive race! Do you suppose he does not guess that you gave Azamat some help? And I wager that he recognised Bela to-day!
It was only on the next morning that he came to the fortress and proceeded to ask that the name of the thief should be told him. The sentry who had observed Azamat untying the horse and galloping away on him did not see any necessity for concealment. At the name of Azamat, Kazbich's eyes flashed, and he set off to the village where Azamat's father lived." === "And what about the father?"
He wishes the following explanations to be made to you, and I am therefore enumerating them, so that there may be no misunderstanding. The Guardian has not definitely chosen the Temple design “Azamat” as the one for the Temple in Germany. Of the submissions which have been made up to this time, he feels this is the one that is best susceptible of development for the final design of the Temple.
