This is the Day of Return and the Lord of all necks is established upon the Throne of Utterance and doth summon all the peoples of the world [3.5s]... ...Another letter of thine, which made mention of the hallowed and blessed days of Riḍván, was received.... Blessed is the house that hath attained unto My tender mercy... We have enjoined upon all to become engaged in some trade or profession, and have accounted such occupation to be an act of worship

BLIB. Manuscripts in the British Library, London, listed by Or number. For a handlist of works of the Báb see Chapter 25 of https://archive.org/details/descriptivelisto00brituoft/page/n3. Regarding manuscripts in the series Or16590 through Or15740, which together comprise half of all known works of Bahá’u’lláh, including some 4,000 items which are uniquely accessible in this series: These were the bequest of a descendent of the family of Bahá’u’lláh; were mostly transcribed by Mírzá Muḥammad-‘Alí, and are likely to have been derived in part from the two stolen satchels of Bahá’u’lláh’s papers mentioned in GPB p.249 and MMK4#189 p.276. While included here owing to their importance, their degree of fidelity to the originals has not yet been ascertained
