| Summary, etc. | In 1867 the considerable number of Baha'is remaining in Baghdad, four years after Baha'u'llah's exile to Constantinople [Istanbul] and hence to Adrianople [Edirne], petitioned the United States Congress for assistance for Baha'u'llah's release and for assistance for the Baha'is in general. The twenty-four line petition was signed with ringstone emblems by 53 Baha'is in Baghdad on March 16, 1867. It reached the United States Consul General's office in Beirut, Syria on April 3, 1867*. From there it finally reached the Secretary of State Sewards office in the United States in July of that year. |
