Interpretation and reception
Epistle to the Son of the Wolf
Bahaullah
Bahaullah retrospectively explains his correspondence with Napoleon III and a minister's response, explicitly distinguishing a perceived request for material aid from his religious proclamation. Requotes the warning of imperial loss from Suriy-i-Haykal; this is later self-presentation.
