this country and nation. It would be appropriate if like everyone else I had my freedom and there was permission for me to visit some of the villages around here with a more temperate climate. I send many greetings to you and to my Nur friends there, and I offer prayers for you.

The Enduring One, He is the Enduring One!

An indication of the acceptability of Mustafa Osman's service, who like the late Hasan Feyzi has carried out much work in a brief space of time and is earnestly devoted to the Risale-i Nur, is his finding two teachers resembling Hasan Feyzi in spirit and loyalty, Ahmed Fuad and Mustafa Sungur, and two higher education students, Mustafa Oruç and Rahmi, and his working at the Nur service with those powerful hands. It is a great good fortune for that region.

The wonderful joint letters of Mustafa Osman and the teacher Mustafa Sungur, which we have added with some alterations to our Additional Letters, shows that shoots of Hasan Feyzi's sort have started to sprout and grow who will save the belief of many wretched people, God willing. Both the Nurjus and myself were especially pleased at the devotion of the fourteen-year-old schoolboy called Rahmi in making his Nur lessons his life's aim, thus resembling the innocent young heroes of Isparta. It is a good omen that the young people's belief in that area will be saved.

Hâfız Mustafa has provided immense assistance for the spread of Zülfikar and the other collections, and writes in the very best way that the late martyr Hâfız Ali wrote, and is a loyal deputy to him and truly diligent friend of his in the Nur Factory. I congratulate with all my life and spirit Ahmed Fuad, who ensured that all the parts of the Risale-i Nur which had been left to Hâfız Mustafa on trust, reached him and the region of Safranbolu and all our brothers there. God willing, every lira given for Zülfikar will yield a thousandfold profit and will produce thousands of good works. I send my greetings to both him, and our brother İbrahim, and the new dedicated teacher Mustafa Sungur, and the young Salâhaddin Rahmî, and to Mustafa Osman and Hıfzı and all our brothers there. ∗∗∗
