addenda, to speak in place of this wretched brother of yours with my brothers whom I miss so greatly.

Thirdly: I offer my condolences to the hero Tahirî, who has made his own house into a small Nur School, and to his relatives, and Isparta, and the Nur circles, on the death his father, who gave his son Tahirî, the outstanding, sincere disseminator of the Risale-i Nur, Tahirî, to its fold. May Almighty God grant mercy to his spirit to the number of the Risale-i Nur's letters.

Fourthly: İnebolu set aside three hundred copies of Zühretü'n-Nur for my account. So I said that one hundred and fifty should be sent to me, and one hundred and fifty to Isparta. Mine arrived, and as for yours, they can be in exchange for the Letters Collections you are going to give me later, and if I owe you anything, you can fix the account.

Fifthly: Convey my greetings to my brothers in 'Iraq and particularly to the keeper of Ustad-i A'zam's [^22] tomb and my brothers in Baghdad, and tell them that if my life permits, I desire with all my life and spirit to travel to that region.

[^22]:This probably refers to Nu'mān ibn Thābit Abū Ḥanīfa (d. ?150/767), generally known as Imam al-A'zam, the illustrious scholar of Islam and founder of the Hanafi school figh. He is buried in Baghdad. [Tr.]

The Enduring One, He is the Enduring One!

Your ill brother,

Firstly: For twenty to thirty years I had been searching for a copy of Münâzarat, but had been unable to find one. It was printed forty-one years ago by the Ebüzziya Press and consists of lessons I gave in the third year of the Second Constitutional Period to the Ertuş tribe, and particularly the Kudan and Mamhuran. My intention was to explain constitutional government as prescribed by the Shari'a to the tribes thoroughly, and to induce
