AB  - Letters from Abdu'l-Bahá's secretary during His travels to North America, Europe, Egypt, Akka, and Haifa. Includes "The Unpublished Diary of Mirza Ahmad Sohrab During his Sojourn in Palestine With the Centre of the Covenant, 'Abdu'l-Bahá́ ‘Abbás ..."
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.   The following notes and scans were provided by Chad Jones and David Merrick, with information also taken from The Master in Egypt: A Compilation (Ahang Rabbani, 2021), 'Abdu'l-Bahá in Edinburgh (Merrick, 2008), and Abdu'l-Bahá in Britain, 1913 (Merrick, 2018). See also 'Abdu'l-Bahá in Egypt (Sohrab, 1929). Organized and partly transcribed by Violetta Zein (2021).   Overview of Partial Inventory items from these diaries.  Also in Pilgrim Accounts Collection.
