This file contains a significant collection of political letters and statements addressed to M.A. Jinnah between 1939 and 1946. The documents capture the intense political climate of the era, marked by efforts to forge Hindu-Muslim unity and resolve the constitutional impasse. The appeal from the Calcutta barristers and the correspondence with Dr. Ambedkar are particularly notable, demonstrating the broad spectrum of political actors who sought Jinnah's cooperation.

Abstract: This file contains ten pages of ration distribution records from the Hamadia H.E. School Relief Camp in Armanitola, Dacca, operated under the Miss Fatima Jinnah Relief Fund. Each page records a family’s head, total members, and allocated rations: rice (approx. 3 seers per head), mustard oil, salt, dal, marich (pepper), onion, firewood (jalo/jalao), hogla (chatai/mat), and matches. Dates of issue and delivery range from August 24–28, 1951, to 1955–1957. Some entries include detailed quantities in seers, kilograms, liters, or units. Family sizes vary from 1 to 5 members; some heads are named (e.g., Mariya, Indira Shankar, Rebie Khelun, Dinaa). Several pages are partially filled or contain inconsistent dates, suggesting they were prepared as templates or for multiple distribution rounds.
