Mullá Báqir Tabrízí (d. c. 1881): The last surviving Letter of the Living
Earlier in his life
while he was in Karbala he assisted Táhirih and traveled to Iran with her. He
was present at the Conference of Badasht and later visited the Báb while He was
in prison in Azerbaijan, acting as an intermediary to carry His correspondence
and other items that He wished to be delivered to Bahá’u’lláh. He then became a
follower of Bahá’u’lláh after visiting Him in Baghdad and traveled twice to
Acre and with Bahá’u’lláh’s permission, spent his last years in Istanbul. He
was the last surviving Letter of the Living.
