In Sources, MacEoin writes: "Nine important letters from this period have been published (along with facsimiles of the originals) in an Azali compilation entitled Qismati az alwah-i khatt-i Nuqta-yi Ula wa Aqa Sayyid Husayn-i Katib. They are a short letter to Subh-i Azal . . a very short letter to Mulla `Abd al-Karim Qazvini . . . an eloborately calligraphed letter to Subh-i Azal . . . A letter to `Abd al-Karim Qazvini, in which the Bab asks him to take care of Subh-i Azal and to preserve his writings and those he himself (the Bab) has written . . . A letter to Mirza Asad Allah Khu'i Dayyan, in which the Bab tells him to relate to others whatever Subh-i Azal reveals and to protect him . . . A letter to Mulla Shaykh `Ali Turshizi, in which the Bab lays claim to the station of qa'imiyya . . . This is the critical letter refered to in the Nuqtat al-Kaf (p. 209), which was copied and sent out to the Bab's followers, making public for the first time his claim to that status . . . [etc.] Scans provided by the Bayani community for which we are grateful.
