1847 c. 17 Apr	The Báb sent a letter to the Sháh requesting an audience. [B121; DB229; TN11] Some accounts maintain that the prime minister intervened in the correspondence between the Báb and the Sháh. En route to Tabríz the Báb wrote to various people, including the Grand Vizier, the father and uncle of Táhirih, and Hájí Sulaymán Khán. Hujjat learned of this last letter and sent a message to the Bábís of Zanján to rescue the Báb. The Báb declined their assistance. [Bab124–5; DB235–6] See B126 for an account of the Báb's demonstration to His guards that He could have escaped had He so wished.
