An immigrant in Balıkesir and follower of Jalal al‑Dīn al-Rumi called Edhem Hoja has for nearly twenty years been busy teaching the Qur'an to children and acting as a village hoja, and now works for the Risale-i Nur in Balıkesir and the vicinity of Kırkağaç. The lengthy letter he has written in the name of the Nur students in that area and signed İbrahim Edhem, Imam of the village of Alamescid near Sandıklı, contains some important pas- sages as well as some slaps for the cowardly hojas, whom he invites and encourages to embrace the Risale-i Nur. I congratulate him earnestly. May Almighty God grant him success! And I send my greetings to both to himself and to the many Nurjus and the new ones whose names are mentioned in his letter. But owing to my illness, I am unable to correct and moderate his long letter. The excessive praise of me needs to be either excised or to be altered. I am sending you a copy to include among The Additional Letters. God willing, just as Hasan Feyzi and Ahmed Feyzi drew the teachers to the Risale-i Nur, so this enterprising brother will attract the hojas.
I also send my greetings to the baker Mustafa, who from time to time assisted me together with his son while I was staying in the hotel in Denizli, and brought me and embers for heating and bread, and sent me a letter via Tahir Çavuş.
I send many greetings to everyone and pray for their well‑being‥
