Summary of Contents: رساله ملا زين العابدين نجف آبادی و جواب آن A letter from Mulla Zaynu'l-'Abidin of Najaf-ábád to one of the "People of the Bayán" (i.e. the old Bábis), inviting him to accept Bahá'u'lláh as Him whom God shall manifest" (23 pp), followed by the much longer reply (198 pp.) of the person so addressed. This MS. also was transcribed by Mírzá Mustafà, from whom I received it through Dr Said Khán in September, 1920, and was completed on Dhul-Qa'da 14, 1337/August 11, 1919. It comprises 221 written pages of 17 x 10'8 c. and 16 ll. This appears to be the last manuscript I received from this excellent old scribe, who has since died, so that his name can be mentioned without im- prudence.
