Abstract: This collection comprises multiple individual receipt slips acknowledging the distribution of clothing items—sarees and lungis—to recipients through M.M. Ispahani Ltd. in Khankhanapur on behalf of Miss Fatima Jinnah's Central Relief Committee. Each receipt records the recipient's name (handwritten) and the item received, with some slips dated September 1955. The documents represent the final stage of relief distribution, where goods reached individual beneficiaries.

Description: Multiple small receipt slips, each acknowledging receipt of one saree or one lungi from Miss Fatima Jinnah's Central Relief Committee through M.M. Ispahani Ltd. at Khankhanapur. Each slip includes a handwritten recipient name, with some bearing dates in late September 1955. The receipts are brief and formulaic, suggesting a systematic distribution of clothing to individual flood-affected persons. Several slips include additional handwritten notations in Bengali or English. The documents represent the point of delivery where relief goods reached individual beneficiaries, completing the supply chain from committee allocation to personal receipt.
