Whosoever claims that ‘Abdu’l-Baha has given to him a tablet or sent a cablegram he must prove it (by showing it). Do not accept the saying of anyone on mere statement. He must bring forth the unmistakable and valid evidence, signed by my own written signature and not the signature on a cablegram which cannot be substantiated.
(Signed) ‘Abdu’l-Baha Abbas
(From a Tablet to an American Bahai, translated on March 4,
1913; Star of the West, vol. 6, no.12, October 16, 1915)
