AB  - A detailed record of three months of Abdu'l-Bahá's time and activities in Egypt, July-September 1913. Includes translations of his talks.
N1  - "Shoghi Effendi has laid down the principle that the Bahá’ís should not attribute much importance to talks reported to have been given by the Master, if these have not in one form or other obtained His sanction. ... Those talks of the Master that were later reviewed by Him, corrected or in some other form considered authentic by Himself, such as the 'Some Answered Questions', these could be considered as Tablets and therefore be given the necessary binding power. All the other talks such as are included in Ahmad's diary or the diary of pilgrims, do not fall under this category and could be considered only as interesting material to be taken for what they are worth." – From a letter written on behalf of Shoghi Effendi to the United States Publishing Committee, December 29, 1931; cited in Lights of Guidance, No. 1435.   First posted online by Brett Zamir in 2006 as incomplete, uncorrected scan made by Duane Troxel in 1995; retyped and formatted by Bobbi Lyons, 2011; converted to PDF in 2012.
