Hi Dean,

Actually, there are many examples of this style of Writing. Of course, I can't find any now. :-) Perhaps someone can post the cite, but I am sure that we have Mirza Aqa Jan's own word on this.

But I do know that this Tablet in particular is written like this - on the surface it is a letter from Mirza Aqa Jan to Mirza Abu'l Fadl but it was dictated by Baha'u'llah to Mirza Aqa Jan in full.

Yes, but the "I" in the same sentence then must refer to Baha'u'llah's amenuensis (Mirza Aqa Jan?). I am not aware of having before seen Revelation revealed in the first person of Baha'u'llah's secretary.

I deduce that the 'His' in question refers to Baha'u'llah. The reason being that the beginning of chapter 2 is titled 'Responses to questions of Manikchi Sahib from a Tablet to Mirza Abu'l-Fadl'.

    To whom does the pronoun "His" (below) refer?

    The Tabernacle of Unity, last sentence of page 37 (paragraph 2.32):

    "Supreme Infallibility, as I once heard from His blessed lips..."
