[The letter Sungur wrote our Master while he was in Ankara]

In His Name, be He glorified!

And there is nothing but it glorifies Him with praise (Q 17:44).

Our Most Esteemed, Most Blessed, Most Kind, and Most Beloved Master !

We presented your valuable, acceptable letter to the Head of the Directorate of Religious Affairs, Ahmed Hamdi Efendi. He was overjoyed to place the blessed collections of the Risale-i Nur in his personal bookcase. He said: "God willing, I shall give these to my closest brothers to read and in this way we shall try to have them published gradually."

My beloved Master! He said he would carry out the orders expressed in your blessed letter, but that they could not be published at once. He said that he would get his close brothers to read them and that they would publish them in the future in accordance with the interest they aroused, and that, God willing, they would try to publish them in their entirety and in superior fashion.

This following point should be written after the question and answer on the first page of the Second Station of the Twenty-Ninth Letter:

The reason this treatise was written was as a sort of response to a terrible conspiracy to have the Qur'an's translation read in the mosques instead of the Qur'an itself. Too many details and unnecessary discussions were included, but perceiving a valuable key to hidden matters in that striving and fervent reply, unnecessary details, and weak and extremely subtle signs were also included.

It occurred to my heart that the Twenty-Ninth Letter's most important, necessary, brilliant, and miraculous First Station would forgive all the faults and excesses of this Second Station. So I happily offered thanks and forgot those faults. ∗∗∗
