I was in Barla and whom I often remember. It also satisfied my curiosity. Mâsha'llah, he continues his previous involvement, just like the old Sıddık Süleyman!

Also sent with Sabri's letter were those of Şükrü, Süleyman, and Osman Çavuş, Nur students from the village of Cire near Eğirdir, which show their serious and sincere attachment to the Risale-i Nur, to which I say: Bârekâllah! May Almighty God bless them and grant them success!

I have received the treatises sent by the Husrev and Rüştü of Kastamonu, Mehmed Feyzi and Emin, that belonged to me and remained in Kastamonu and were being held in trust by them. Mehmed Feyzi, the Risale-i Nur's chief scribe, has written a glossary for The Staff of Moses, which I have sent to you. It is written in truly fine and learned fashion although he is ill. He included a noteworthy piece at the head of it, and sent me a letter also. His wondrous loyalty and superior devotion, and his serving belief in various ways, despite the numerous difficulties and obstacles there, show that just as he is a young Husrev, so he is fully a Hasan Feyzi. But because when I was there, I was not bothered by a very high-ranking and egotistical person who had formerly been an official and had leanings towards Sufism, and a most notable, knowledgeable hoja who was deeply involved in the world and was a politically oriented businessman, I did not attempt to draw them into the fold of the Risale-i Nur, and I did not bother them, Now, Mehmed Feyzi wants to deliver Kastamonu from their ascendancy, but is unable to achieve this as in Denizli. Moreover, such Nur champions as Hilmi, Sadık, and Ahmed Kureyşi are away in their villages, so Feyzi's work remains a bit personal. God willing, sometime they will succeed in this completely.

In another field (in the world of women), Kastamonu's Zehrâs, Hacers, Lütfiyes, Ulviyes, and Necmiyes accompany Feyzi in serving the Risale-i Nur.

It says in Feyzi's letter that thanks to the efforts of the Risale-i Nur students, an official Qur'an school has been opened and that the first to attend it were the Nur children and particularly Emin's children and they have been the first to read the Qur'an from beginning to end and to learn some of it by heart. I congratulate them and their fathers and the other students there, and say: "Bârekâllah!" a thousand times over for those innocent children.

Our worthy sister Zehrâ has come here twice in connection with the Risale-i Nur work; her donating two hundred liras to cover the paper expenses of the Medresetü'z-Zehrâ shows that among the women are Husrevs, Feyzis, and Ahmeds.
