The warden of the castle, ‘Alí Khán, began providing “whatever would tend to alleviate the rigour of the captivity of the Báb”

‘Alí Khán set out, within the limits imposed upon him, to provide whatever would tend to alleviate the rigour of the captivity of the Báb. At night the gate of the castle was still closed; in the daytime, however, those whom the Báb desired to see were allowed to enter His presence, were able to converse with Him and to receive His instructions.
