Abstract: This letter, dated 24th April 1960, is written by M. Janal Mahomed Sair to M.A. Jinnah. The sender acknowledges receipt of an invitation to an important meeting of the All-India Muslim League in Delhi but expresses his inability to attend due to poor health and medical advice against traveling in hot weather. He extends his wishes for the success of the meeting. Notably, the date of the letter (1960) is historically anomalous, as M.A. Jinnah passed away in 1948, raising questions about the context or accuracy of the dating.

Description: This single-page letter is a personal communication from M. Janal Mahomed Sair to M.A. Jinnah, declining an invitation to a Muslim League meeting scheduled for April 1960. The letter highlights the sender’s regard for Jinnah and the League, while also underscoring practical constraints like health and weather. The date is particularly noteworthy, as it falls well after Jinnah’s demise, suggesting a possible misdating or misattribution. This document may be of interest for studies on post-independence Muslim League activities or historical record-keeping anomalies. SCANNED BY: NATIONAL ARCHIVES OF PAKISTAN.
