Epistle to the Son of the Wolf

From Bahaikipedia

The Epistle to the Son of the Wolf is the last major work of Bahá’u’lláh before his death in 1892. It is a letter written to a Muslim cleric, a violent opponent of the Bahá’ís who, along with his father (called by Bahá’u’lláh "the wolf"), also a Muslim cleric, had put to death a number of Bahá’ís. This work is noteworthy, as within Bahá’u’lláh quotes extensively from his own previously revealed Tablets. This, in a sense, makes a large portion of the work a summary of excerpts on critical concepts expressed in previous works in a condensed form.
