The Epistle of Nasiri'd- Din Shah was confided to a Persian Baha'i, Mirza Badi Khurasani, who undertook to deliver it into the Shah's own hands. This brave man waited in the neighbourhood of Tihran for the passing of the Shah, who had the intention to journey by that way to his Summer Palace. The courageous messenger followed the Shah to his Palace, and waited on the road near the entrance for several days. Always in the same place was he seen waiting on the road, until the people began to wonder why he should be there. At last the Shah heard of him, and commanded his servants that the man should be brought before him. (77:3) `Oh! servants of the Shah, I bring a letter, which I must deliver into his own hands', Badi said, and then Badi said to the Shah, `I bring you a letter from Baha'u'llah!'
(77:4)
