My Dear, Loyal Brothers!

Firstly: I congratulate you with all my life and spirit on your success, and steadfastness, and for the wonder of the alifs in the Twenty‑Ninth Word being preserved when written on the waxed paper, and on your never slacking in your work.

Secondly: The fact that the fire at the Ministry of Education, which caused two million liras' worth of damage, occurred at virtually the same time (ten hours later) as the unprecedented anguish I felt on giving my statement for four hours, showed that the Risale‑i Nur is a means of calamities being repulsed, and if it is attacked, the calamities find a way and descend.

Thirdly: The piece written about the fire to show an instance of the Risale‑i Nur's wonder-working, had been waiting for a week to be sent to you. They watch the post offices very closely due to their unfounded suspicions, so we did not send it by post. You are curious as to what your posi- tion is vis-à-vis the court. Our brother Burhan writes that he has suffered a small setback, what was it? I was curious. May Almighty God repulse it. I was very pleased to receive the letters of Re'fet Bey and Abdullah Çavuş. I send them greetings in particular. Greetings to all.

Your brother,Saîd Nursî
