Mehmed Çavuş, one of the Sava Nur School heroes, saw the police chief with the copy of Zülfikar he had written for me. He told the chief that it was his and that he should return it to him.
But the police chief replied that he had enjoyed reading it and that he wanted to hold on to it for another week or two,
to which Mehmed Çavuş agreed.
Now, if you think it appropriate, tell the police chief, and the superintendent who confiscated it: “Said sends you his greetings and says that that other person wrote it because his own handwriting is not good.”
I look on Isparta as blessed together with its earth and stones and all its people, and therefore regard its administrators and especially its police as earnest friends. As has been admitted by the police of three provinces, and established by numerous experiences and the acquittals granted unanimously by three courts and the praise and appreciation of three committees of scholars and experts, the Risale‑i Nur with all its treatises and its students are highly effective moral keepers of the peace and public order. They ensure public peace, security, and discipline, which is the duty of the police chief and his men, and in the face of the bad behaviour of the unruly, induce obedience more effectively than the police superintendants. The police, therefore, should look on us approvingly as the police chief does, not suspiciously. Because he said that he really liked Zülfikar and that he was going to read it. Anyway, you do whatever you think is best.
Also, tell the police chief: “Our brother Said says that if you really do like Zülfikar you can have that copy as a gift, because it is his. And he says too that he will also give you a copy of The Staff of Moses, which is just as important as Zülfikar.”
I have absolutely no time to write personal replies to the gratifying letters that have arrived from Denizli and Tavas and my circumstances do not allow it, so they should not feel offended. It is understood from Çakır. Yusuf's letter that he is totally committed and a full heir of Hasan Feyzi‥
