In His Name, be He glorified!
Our Esteemed, Heroic Brother!
Firstly: We wish to draw your attention to a matter of extreme importance: it should not be permitted that our large collections are destroyed; they should be saved whatever the price. Was the decision for their destruction given recently or previously? In your opinion, is this an official decision? Kindly learn the truth of the matter and let us know without delay.
Secondly: We are sending the communication giving information about this matter to the heroic Sungur in Ankara and to the Minister. We send you our greetings and respectfully kiss your hands.
Ziya, Zübeyir
