Abstract: This is a brief, one-page personal letter addressed to M.A. Jinnah from an individual in Calcutta, signed "Maison." Dated 29th July 1943, the writer expresses profound gratitude and relief upon receiving a telegram from Jinnah indicating he would "be all right soon." The letter conveys deep personal concern for Jinnah's health, culminating in a prayer for his long life: "May God preserve your life for scores of years to come." It serves as a simple yet powerful testament to the personal devotion and anxiety Jinnah's well-being inspired among his supporters during the intense political struggles of the 1940s.

Description: This document is a concise personal letter reflecting the human dimension of M.A. Jinnah's leadership. Unlike political or organizational correspondence, its sole purpose is to express relief and offer good wishes following news of Jinnah's ill health. The tone is respectful, affectionate, and deeply concerned, highlighting the emotional bond between Jinnah and his followers. It underscores that beyond the political titan, Jinnah was a individual whose personal condition was a matter of significant worry for people across India. This letter, from Calcutta to his home in Bombay, is a small but poignant artifact of the personal loyalty that underpinned his public political authority. SCANNED BY: NATIONAL ARCHIVES OF PAKISTAN.
