The letter from Hasan Şükrü, the preacher from Kozca, pleased me greatly; I send him my greetings. I send greetings too to foremost the innocent children, the unlettered, the sisters, and those who write with their pens, and to all my brothers, and offer prayers for them.

The Enduring One, He is the Enduring One!

Your brother,

I saw the letter of Küçük Ali, the hero of the Auspicious Group (mübârekler hey'eti), which was returned to me by the court having been seized from the post before it ever reached me; he had decided to write out the whole Risale-i Nur once every two years, and has done so. With this heroic act he affirmed my premonition that having seen a true Abdurrahman in Büyük Mustafa, the first student of the Risale-i Nur, I would see many more after him, for he carried out that blessed Mustafa's duty to the letter. And Hâfız Mustafa showed in prison after having been a full assistant during Hâfız Ali's lifetime that after his death he was a full heir. That is to say, in that elevated and blessed group they have performed to the full the work of the Risale-i Nur that I had hoped for eighteen years ago, and continue to do so. The seeds they sowed produce fruits in their places, even if they do not work at it.

I send greetings to each and every one of our brothers, and offer prayers for them. ∗∗∗
