Abstract: A collection of letters, cheques, drafts, and subscription lists sent to Muhammad Ali Jinnah between 1940 and 1942, documenting financial contributions from individuals, merchants, businesses, and organizations across India in support of the Pakistan movement and the Muslim League's emergency fund.

Description: This collection comprises letters and financial documents sent to Muhammad Ali Jinnah, primarily in 1942, in response to his appeal for funds to support the Muslim League and the Pakistan movement.

Contributors range from individual well-wishers and professionals to merchant associations, commercial firms, and local Muslim leagues.
