Abstract: Letters and messages from 1959‑1960 show Fatima Jinnah as Patron‑in‑Chief of the National Tuberculosis Association of Pakistan. She sends a written message for a conference, declines an invitation to inaugurate another due to prior commitments, clarifies that Rs. 13,000 from a defunct association is not under her control, and notes that her secretary forwarded applications for assistance.

Description: The documents include Fatima Jinnah’s message for a T.B. conference (1959) regretting her absence but expressing support. The Managing Editor of Daily Business (Karachi) asks for a special message for an Eid Fortnight Drive. The Okara branch of the National T.B. Association sends greetings at the start of their Eid Seal sale. Correspondence with Dr. Riaz Ali Shah reveals that a sum of Rs. 13,000 belonging to the defunct All‑Pakistan Tuberculosis Association is not under her control; she advises him to contact the proper authority. She also declines to inaugurate a West Pakistan Tuberculosis Association conference (October 1959) but sends good wishes. Finally, her secretary requests an advance copy of her inaugural address for printing. SCANNED BY: NATIONAL ARCHIVES OF PAKISTAN.
