Abstract: This file contains a telegram and accompanying letters sent to Muhammad Ali Jinnah in January 1946. The telegram from Aligarh urges Jinnah to have the Dawn newspaper publish the full text of a speech, criticizing an existing report as unsatisfactory. A follow-up letter discusses the logistical details of publishing pamphlets and raises a matter concerning royalty payments for Jinnah's "Speeches and Writings," indicating an effort to manage the publication and financial aspects of his political messaging.

The urgent telegram underscores the importance placed on accurate and complete media representation of his speeches. The related correspondence reveals practical concerns regarding the printing, distribution, and financial rights (royalties) associated with publishing his works, illustrating the organizational infrastructure supporting his public political personal.
