Abstract: A 1944 receipt from Dr. P.H. Kronenberger (Bombay) acknowledges Rs. 60 received from Miss F. Jinnah. Multiple postal acknowledgment forms (R.P.‑54, R.P.‑64, etc.) from the Pakistan Posts and Telegraphs Department (mid‑1950s) show Miss Fatima Jinnah as sender or addressee of registered/insured articles, including one addressed to the Wealth‑Tax Officer, Non‑resident Refunds Circle, Bombay.

Description: The earliest document (11 September 1944) is a receipt from Dr. P.H. Kronenberger in Bombay for Rs. 60 paid by Miss F. Jinnah “as per bill of 30th August 1944.” The remaining documents are standard printed postal acknowledgment forms (R.P.‑54, R.P.‑64, R.P.‑31) from the Pakistan Posts and Telegraphs Department, circa 1956‑1957. These forms bear Miss Fatima Jinnah’s name and address (Flag Staff House, Karachi) as sender, with one addressee being “The Wealth‑Tax Officer, Non‑resident Refunds Circle, Queen Road, Bombay‑1 (India).” Another form (page 24) has a partially legible addressee “Mohtrama Miss Fatima Jinnah” with location “opp: Palace Cinema, Karachi.” The forms document the handling of registered and insured articles during the 1950s.
