AB  - Letters from Abdu'l-Bahá's secretary during His travels to North America, written July 1913 - Oct 1914.
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.
