Subject: Re: Letters of the Living
Dear Sandra,
David was asking for references by Shoghi Effendi or Abdu'l-Baha.
What you've posted is by Nabil (translated by Shoghi Effendi).
This listing is merely a suggestion by Nabil and no more. Others
have suggested other individuals as Letters.
Regards,
ahang.
Please respond to "Baha'i Studies"
