"That is to say, the writing does not agree with the hypothesis that
it was all written by one
person."
"A minute comparison of the authenticated writing with the writing
on every page of the
alleged will . . . has failed to detect in any part of the will the
characteristics of the writing
of Abdu'l-Baha, as shown in the authenticated specimens." -Dr. C.

The attempts to discredit Dr. Mitchell and Ruth White have relied on, for
over 75 years, slander and
ad hominem and are no more convincing now than they have ever been. Note
the attempt to shift from
his conclusion and call for an examination of the original to the man
himself.
I ask the reader to reflect on the fact that Dr. Mitchell remains one of
the most respected forensic
researchers of the 20th century and is still quoted and cited by academics
and legal experts. His
professional integrity is beyond question as is and was his ability to
assess the authenticity of
the purported will itself. As the document curator for the British Museum,
Dr. Mitchell used
techniques and methods still widely used and recognized whether or not one
has a command of the
language being scrutinized. Knowledge of a language in and of itself has
never been the essential
for handwriting experts, and informed people know that to be a fact. Those
who seek to conceal the
act of forgery hope to confuse the uninformed about what is involved. See
the link at the bottom to
one of his books available online.

Dr. C. (Charles) Ainsworth Mitchell was the widely-recognized
handwriting expert at the
British Museum who judged the purported will of Abdu'l-Baha to be a fraud.
Ruth White placed Dr.
Mitchell's signed Report on the Writing Shown on the Photographs of the
Alleged Will of Abdu'l-Baha
with the Library of Congress in 1930. Certified copy below.
"That is to say, the writing does not agree with the hypothesis that

"A minute comparison of the authenticated writing with the writing

of Abdu'l-Baha, as shown in the authenticated specimens."
A bibliography of Dr. C. Ainsworth Mitchell's published work is
available from the Library of
Congress at the bottom of this page.
Mitchell was a singularly qualified person to judge:
"In England, C. Ainsworth Mitchell was a public analyst interested
primarily in questioned
documents and the chemistry of inks during the early twentieth century"

NOTE WELL: In 1997, decades after his Report on the Writing Shown on
the Photographs of the
Alleged Will of Abdu'l-Baha in 1930, Dr. C. Ainsworth Mitchell's
reputation in the field of
"questioned documents" continues to command the respect of his colleagues
capable of evaluating his
abilities and of educating new students.
