Abstract: A correspondence from October 1941. The first page is a request from Syed Sharifuddin Peerzada, editor of the "Garvan-e-Xavier" Urdu magazine at St. Xavier's College, asking M.A. Jinnah for a message for their inaugural publication. The second and third pages contain Jinnah's detailed reply, in which he provides a message by quoting directly from his historic Lahore (Pakistan) Resolution address of March 1940. He reiterates the core principles of the Muslim nation's right to a homeland and a state. Jinnah concludes by emphasizing the critical role of the student intelligentsia in the nation's future and wishes success for the magazine in fostering unity and determination.

Description: This correspondence is a significant example of M.A. Jinnah's direct engagement with the student community to disseminate the ideology of the Muslim League. The document shows how Jinnah strategically used such platforms to reinforce the message of the Pakistan demand. His decision to quote his own landmark speech underscores the importance he placed on the Lahore Resolution as the definitive statement of Muslim political aspirations. The letter also highlights his belief in the youth as the future custodians of the nation, a theme he consistently emphasized to build a generation committed to the cause of Pakistan.
