My Dear, Loyal Brothers!
Firstly: I congratulate you with all my life and spirit on the month of Rajab and the Three Months and I beseech Almighty God that these months will be the means of winning for you and for me an everlasting life of eighty years. Amen.
Secondly: For the last thirty to forty days, as a sort of assault on the believers and three religiously‑minded deputies, a general upset has been caused in order to hinder the restoration of the marks of Islam. They found the Nurjus to be the most powerful of those working for the cause of belief, so many cunning plans were laid on false pretexts in order to induce them to be neglectful and to dampen their enthusiasm. They wanted with these extraordinary intrigues in Emirdağ, as in Tarsus and Istanbul, to anger me and incite a disturbance. But through the grace of God, I was given extraordinary patience and forbearance. Their plans were completely thwarted. There is the possibility, even, that three high-ranking officials here and in Afyon will be dismissed. And the three deputies put in a good word for us. That is to say, divine providence protects us as ever, all praise be to God. Don't be anxious about things like this, but it is advisable to always be cautious.
Thirdly: The hero Ahmed Feyzi, who may be counted the Risale‑i Nur's lawyer, is involved with the duplicating of the Risale-i Nur in Izmir and with the general awakening there, and has undertaken to do the corrections. Bayram, who in prison was a young Nur hero, brought me a letter describing how the brothers who are helping him there, like Mehmed Yayla and Abdurrahman, are continuing their involvement with the duplicating. Ahmed Feyzi sent some olives and olive oil with Bayram. Although I did not accept my own brother Abdülmecid's gift, I was obliged to accept Ahmed Feyzi's, since I look on him as even closer to me than my brother. But so as not to break my rule, in return, you send to him on my account, one Words Collection, five Jaushan al-Kabirs, and three Hizb-i Nûriyes which belong to me, as Nazif mentioned in his letter, and which will be sent to you from Istanbul.
Two Nurjus have gone to Ankara. The Prime Minister, the Interior Minister, and the Minister of Education all support us. We received the good news, so don't worry about us. I feel a spiritual joy at the difficulties we suffer.
