Amatu’l-Bahá Rúḥíyyih Khánum to Visit Eight U.S. Cities
Although local arrangements have not been completed as this announcement goes to press, the National Spiritual Assembly is happy to list the Bahá’í communities in the United States to be visited by ‘Amatu’l-Bahá Rúḥíyyih Khánum following the forthcoming annual convention. Local spiritual assemblies and area teaching committees have been asked to inform the believers as to the location of the meeting places and other details.
Rúḥíyyih Khánum will speak first at the Riḍván Feast in Foundation Hall of the Bahá’í House of Worship, Saturday evening, April 30. This meeting will be open to the public. She will also address the delegates and visitors the following day before the adjournment of the convention.
Following a meeting with the incoming National Spiritual Assembly, Rúḥíyyih Khánum will then begin her itinerary across the United States, visiting the cities on the dates indicated below. Except where public meetings are specified, all the meetings will be for registered Bahá’ís only.
Atlanta. Ga. —May 4-—evening for Bahá’ís
Dallas, Texas —May 6 —evening for Bahá’ís Gallup, N.M. —May 8 — daytime for Bahá’ís

As part of their public proclamation effort, the Bahá’ís of Nashua, N.H. recently contributed two Bahá’í books—Gleanings From the Writings of Bahá’u’lláh and The Book of Certitude to the Nashua Public Library for circulation. The presentation was made formally to the librarian by Edward Schlesinger on behalf of the Bahá’í group, both of whom were photographed standing before an enlarged picture of ‘Abdu’l-Bahá which was on display in the library for a week together with other Bahá’í literature. A write-up accompanied by a picture of the presentation appeared the same day in the Nashua Telegraph.
