Epistle to the Son of the Wolf — Paragraph 34

Source (Persian)

و در ايّام و ليالی در سجن مذکور در اعمال و احوال و حرکات حزب بابی تفکّر مينموديم که مع علوّ و سموّ و ادراک ان حزب ايا چه شده که از ايشان چنين عملی ظاهر يعنی جسارت و حرکت ان حزب نسبت بذات شاهانه * و بعد اين مظلوم اراده نمود که بعد از خروج از سجن بتمام همّت در تهذيب ان نفوس قيام نمايد *

Translation

Day and night, while confined in that dungeon, We meditated upon the deeds, the condition, and the conduct of the Bábís, wondering what could have led a people so high-minded, so noble, and of such intelligence, to perpetrate such an audacious and outrageous act against the person of His Majesty. This Wronged One, thereupon, decided to arise, after His release from prison, and undertake, with the utmost vigor, the task of regenerating this people.
