At last the imprisonment was mitigated. A mobilization of Turkish troops occurred and the barracks were required for soldiers. Baha'u'llah (and) His family were transferred to a house by themselves and the rest of the party were accommodated in a caravanserai in the town. In a small room near that in which He was imprisoned, thirteen.. of.. both sexes, had to accommodate themselves.. From the time Baha'u'llah.. left the barracks, visitors were allowed to see them, and gradually the severe restrictions.. were left in abeyance, although now and then reimposed.. (34:1)
