(62) June 13th, 1956
Secretary, National Spiritual Assembly of the Bahá’ís of Australia and New Zealand.

He is delighted to hear that the New Zealand friends are so eagerly carrying on their work in preparation for their National Assembly next year. Their coming of age, so to speak, will be a source of pride to all their fellow National Assemblies, and they will form a welcome addition to the pillars which must ultimately sustain the International House of Justice....
