Your letter of August 9th posing the problem of holding
Nineteen Day Feasts and other Bahá'í activities in the two communities ...
which have grown so large that it is impossible to conduct such activities in
homes is welcomed by us, and we hope you will meet this problem before long in
other communities.
We leave it to your discretion as to whether these large
communities should purchase adequate facilities to accommodate the believers at
Feasts and other Bahá'í activities, rent facilities, or hold several
simultaneous Feasts, still utilizing homes.
