I am very anxious to get as accurate
an account of all the details connected with the [Faith of the Báb] as
possible, for in my eyes the whole [story] seems one of the most interesting
and important events that has occurred since the rise of Christianity -- and I
feel it my duty, as well as my pleasure, to try as far as in me lies to bring
the matter to the notice of my countrymen -- for suppose anyone could tell us
more about the childhood and early life and appearance of Christ, for instance,
how glad we should be to know it. Now it is impossible to find out much -- but
in the case of the Báb it is possible -- So let us earn the thanks of
posterity, and provide against that day now.
