M.A. Jinnah | Nizam of Hyderabad -- Property Sale -- Malabar Hill Bombay -- Zainyar Jung | Muslim League -- Political Sacrifice -- Kashmir 1944 | H. Habibjoo & Sons -- Silverware -- Walnut Wood Furniture

This file contains a fascinating series of telegrams and letters from 1944 documenting M.A. Jinnah's negotiation with the Nizam of Hyderabad for the potential sale of his prestigious Bombay residence. Jinnah's eloquent defense of the property's value and his candid admission that his political work for the Muslim League is the primary motive for selling provides a powerful insight into his personal sacrifices for the Pakistan movement. The correspondence is complemented by receipts from renowned Kashmiri craftsmen, detailing Jinnah's acquisitions of fine silver, furniture, and decorative arts during a working holiday.
