may do if he knows that that his life-companion will work and assist him in the Risale-i Nur's service like those of some of our select brothers. For their lives belong to the Risale-i Nur and they may marry if approved by students representing its collective personality. God willing, it will cause no harm and his parents are in favour of it. ∗∗∗

My Dear, Loyal Brothers !
Don't worry, there's nothing to be anxious about! Only, before the Ankara police chief and some high-ranking officials came here after the festival as though they were secretly concerned with me in some way, an officer assaulted me lightly taking courage from their visit. But they regretted it afterwards. And there was no cause to worry after the officials' visit. I reckon the matter affected my brothers to an extent and Feyzi was bothered somewhat. I'm curious, on what pretext did they search him? What were they looking for? What was it all about? What could they have been searching for when after two years of investigations three courts have returned all our books and letters without exception and they have understood that we have no connection with the politics of this world? Perhaps these illegalities are being perpetrated in the name of the law due to some private jealousy or grudge or due to the incitement of covert atheists. In the face of all this, total steadfastness and solidarity are necessary and to be in no way shaken or perturbed. ∗∗∗

My Dear, Loyal Brothers !
We met only briefly in the mosque; I have a few important things to say, for you to bear in mind.
Firstly: I send my greetings to our valuable brothers, the sincere friends of Sabri, who has performed a hundred years of duties in ten years in Bedre, like Hakkı, Hulûsi, (P), Mehmed, and Şamlı Süleyman and Bahri in Barla.
Secondly: The duty blessed Mustafa, Küçük Ali's elder brother, has inherited from Abdurrahman, he is carrying out to the letter together with his son. His work and service are being perpetuated, so he shouldn't worry. The luminous seeds Hâfız Mustafa sowed together with the late Hâfız Ali
