Abstract: This is a brief, formal letter from M.A. Jinnah in response to a communication from John Weimar Russell, the General Secretary of the Muslim League. Jinnah acknowledges receipt of a letter explaining the attitude of a five-year-old family (or possibly a five-member family/group, text is unclear) and states that the matter is receiving his attention. In response to a query about writing and criticizing individuals in the press, Jinnah leaves the decision to the discretion of the General Secretary, indicating a delegation of authority on such tactical matters.

Description: A succinct letter from M.A. Jinnah that illustrates his managerial style in dealing with the day-to-day affairs of the All-India Muslim League. It shows him acknowledging an internal party issue and empowering a subordinate (the General Secretary) to make a judgment call regarding the use of the press for criticism, reflecting the operational dynamics of the League's secretariat under his leadership.
