My Dear, Loyal Brothers!
Firstly: Bârekâllah, a thousand times over! We declare Mâsha'llah! and All praise be to God! thousands of times, both at The Words Collection being written out beautifully and correctly, and at the seized collections being saved from destruction, and your obtaining some of them as a sample.
Secondly: I refer it to the leading members of the Medresetü'z-Zehrâ to reply suitably in my place to the letters that come to me. For instance, I am most gratified at the effective services rendered to the Risale-i Nur by Osman Nuri in Ankara, like a Hasan Feyzi there, and his preparing a house for me there next to his, and his being resigned at his own illness as though, like Hasan Feyzi, he was assisting me when I was ill by alleviating it. I am still waiting here, because we have not yet received our books from the court. I want to be present there when our Qur'an and some of our collections are printed, but I cannot go now because there are many pressing jobs here, so he should not feel offended. If he had not been there, I would have had to go myself. But he leaves no need for me. May God be pleased with him and grant him success !

Thirdly: I affirm the letter sent by our steadfast, serious brother from Atabey, Abdullah Çavuş. The meanings I gave certain Hadiths forty years ago are again becoming apparent. Even the obdurate are compelled to admit it. Time is affirming the predictions made in the Fifth Ray of The Shining Lamp (Siracü 'n-Nur), that absolute despotism suffers the torments of Hell in this world too. The sincere letter of İhsan from Samsun shows that a Samsun deputy who came here and obtained for himself a full set of the Risale-i Nur was the cause of a light-scattering awakening in that region, for it has resulted in the appearance of such people as İhsan. I am including both of them in my prayers.
Fourthly: The correspondence of the alifs in the Twenty-Ninth Word is truly a wonder, just as it is a wonder that they come out so beautifully when duplicated by machine.
I send my greetings to everyone.
The Enduring One, He is the Enduring One!
Your ill yet happy brother,
