Abstract: This letter is an invitation sent by the managing committee of Raunaque Islam Girls High School (also referred to as Ronaq‑e‑Islam Girls Secondary School) in Karachi to Mohtarma Miss Fatima Jinnah, the revered “Madar‑e‑Millat” (Mother of the Nation). The school requests the honour of her presence as the chief guest at its annual prize distribution ceremony. The event is intended to encourage and reward the academic and co‑curricular achievements of the girl students. The letter reflects the deep respect that educational institutions of the time held for Miss Jinnah and their desire to seek her patronage and inspiration.

Description: This single‑page letter, written on the official letterhead of Raunaque Islam Girls High School (likely bearing the school’s name, address, and possibly its emblem), is addressed to Madar‑e‑Millat Miss Fatima Jinnah at her Flagstaff House residence in Karachi. The text, composed in formal and respectful language, conveys the school’s admiration for Miss Jinnah’s lifelong services to the nation and its earnest wish to have her as the chief guest at the annual prize distribution function. It outlines the date, time, and venue of the ceremony (though these details are not preserved in the surviving copy) and expresses the hope that her august presence will inspire the students and enhance the prestige of the event. The letter is signed by the school’s headmistress or honorary secretary. This document exemplifies the high esteem in which Miss Fatima Jinnah was held by educational institutions in Pakistan and her active role in encouraging women’s education and youth development.
