Several pieces of correspondence, some in Arabic, some in Persian, one addressed to "6" and one to "53." Three have dates: the first letter is addressed to "Mu‘azzamah ‘Izz" [probably his sister ‘Izziyah Khanum], dated 20 May 1883 [13 Rajab 1300], not in Subh-i Azal's handwriting; possibly a different person has copied all these letters, since the entire set has one kind of handwriting and one color of ink (except for the seventh letter) and is organized as a booklet. The second piece seems to be a prayer. The third is addressed to "53." The fourth is possibly a prayer, but starts by saying...
A fragment of Subh-i Azal's biography, written by ‘Atiyah Ruhi, which covers his life from childhood until his exile to Cyprus.
This booklet includes brief biography of Qurrat al-ʻAyn, some of her poetry, prayers, and other writings.
Letters from Subh-i Azal addressed to "Mu‘azzamah ‘Azz". From the content of these letters and some of the letters addressed to Safvat al-Hajiyah, it seems likely that these letters are to his siter ‘Izziyah Khanum. One letters is dated October 16, 1886, one July 15, 1894, and another is dated May 23, 1901.
Letters from Subh-i Azal to his sister Safvat al-Hajiyah. One of the letters is dated 3 May 1906 and an envelope has the seal of ‘Abd al-‘Ali, son of Subh-i Azal. Four letters are part addressed to Safvat al-Hajiyah and part to Mu‘azzamah ‘Izz [probably ‘Izziyah Khanum]; in one it is indicated that the former is looking after the latter who is recovering from some illness.
The printed book of Tanbih al-Na’imin, written by ‘Izziyah Khanum, the elder sister of Subh-i Azal, responding to a Letter from ‘Abbas Afandi, her nephew, and rejecting claims of her brother Mirza Husayn ‘Ali Baha’ Allah. This copy includes as well an introduction (author's name not indicated), Afandi's Letter, a sermon and an essay by Haji Mirza Ahmad Kirmani.
Shah Sultan ‘Izziyah, the daughter of Kulsum Khanum and Mirza Buzurg Nuri, was the sister of Husayn ‘Ali Nuri (Baha’ Allah) and Mirza Yahya Subh-i Azal.
