and my remaining silent in the face of their oppression. So now when I am severely provoked, involuntarily and outside my will I am going to speak the truth frankly and openly to those who strive to punish me, utilizing the harms my covert enemies have caused me. (Silence ... this is not going to be disclosed for now.)
Since the fact of the matter is this, and since the Public Health Committee has knowledge of both my physical, spiritual, and nervous indispositions, and my coronary illness and sicknesses in my head, and my lumbago and pain, and my inability to speak in court, and since my official representatives are there, and those who printed the work are there, I request that a report be given describing medically my dangerous illnesses so that my evidence may be given in absentia.

My Esteemed, Blessed, Kind Master!
I am sending this letter with my brother Karakoçanlı Haji Sabri, who has connections with the Risale-i Nur and was one of my companions during the Hajj.
Firstly: I kiss your blessed hands and request that you include this powerless, faulty brother and student of yours in your acceptable prayers.
Secondly: I request that you also include your brother Haji Sabri and the rest of the new devotees in your prayers.
Thirdly: Praise be to God, I am apprised of the situation since my brother Husrev continues to send the letters of both your esteemed self and his other brothers, as you have ordered.
Fourthly: I have given the works sent by both my brother Husrev and Ceylan to the brothers, and I have sent them the money. I asked Urfa for a few more. Haji Sabri bought one set of them.
Fifthly: We beseech divine grace that the good news relayed by the President of the Republic's speech will be realized.
Sixthly: All praise be to God, we continue to be employed in the dissemination of the Risale-i Nur and in its conquests, in so far as our Compassionate and Munificent Lord permits.
Every evening, instruction from the Risale-i Nur continues for the people from the enlightened Nur community who come to our house.
