Hi. This hasn't been approved by Lambden for public distribution, so it's not online. However, if you are an H-Baha'i subscriber, or get permission from its webmaster, you could probably find it in the archives. I've included the entry from the Leiden List, below, which gives this citation. Good luck! -Jonah
