I exclaimed: Endless thanks be to Almighty God! One teacher was released but in his place two Hasans, two Mustafas, three teachers, and one hardworking educator are performing the Denizli hero's duties in addition to their own duties. This is a sign that just as Hâfız Ali departed and Denizli took his place and dispelled all the pain and sorrow; so Hasan Feyzi has departed and in his place a modern school and university will emerge, God willing, and again make the pain subside.

Greetings to all our brothers. ∗∗∗

Firstly: With their services for the Risale-i Nur with the duplicating machine and in other ways, the hero Nazif and his friends, who in truth have his spirit and loyalty, are making this country indebted to them. May Almighty God grant them every success! Amen. It is a great triumph. The work produced by the machine is both attractive, clear, and correct. [^70] Almighty God has bestowed on Nazif many Salâhaddins and İbrahims.

[^70]:This time, in only two or three places in twenty-four pages, misplaced points made the letter hā, khā, and they needed correcting. Nothing more. A lot of words are missing, but the meaning is clear. I haven't looked at the rest of it. [Author]

A piece in my own handwriting is needed at the beginning of Zülfikar. Because of my illness, I am unable myself to write the four waxed pages they have sent, so I shall dictate and my permanent scribe will write it, and I shall write just a few words.

I have received the three sorts of material gifts (teberrük) that our brother Nazif sent for the festival and New Year in the name of the Nurjus of both Istanbul and İnebolu. I have accepted them in the name of all of them, although it is not my habit. May God be pleased with them, Amen! I broke my rule for their sake. And I have received the two collections sent by Mustafa Osman, our brother who is as loyal and attached as Nazif: one, the paradisaical Nur Zülfikar in the name of the second Salâhaddin, the young İbrahim; another, the greater part of The Words (Sözler), written most beautifully by himself and sent in the name of all the Safranbolu Nurjus. May Almighty God write in the books of their good deeds and those of İbrahim and Mustafa and İzzet and their friends and helpers, merits to the number of the letters of Zülfikar and those two collections, and a hundred instances of mercy for each letter. Amen!

Indeed, Mustafa Osman has found two dedicated and very hardworking wings. Like Nazif has Salâhaddin and İbrahim, Mustafa Osman
