Abstract: A government office order appointing Syed Saeed Hasan as her Personal Assistant (1957). Several letters from her secretary requesting medical examination and treatment for her staff: a peon with stomach disorder, a driver with leg trouble, the driver’s sister with fever, and a mali with eye problems – all addressed to Jinnah Central Hospital, Karachi. A 1964 letter from J. Walter Thompson Far Eastern Company seeks verification of a former employee, Syed Moazzam Hussain Jafri, who claimed to have worked as Miss Jinnah’s Private Secretary from 1962‑1964.

Description: A 1957 office order from the Cabinet Secretariat appoints Syed Saeed Hasan as P.A. to Miss Fatima Jinnah with a special pay of Rs. 50 per month. Several letters (1958‑1963) from her secretaries (Shaifique Ahmed, K.M.A. Saba, S.M. Hussain) request medical care for household staff at Jinnah Central Hospital: a peon (Ahmad Aman) with stomach disorder and fever, a driver (Ikhtiar Gul) with leg trouble, the driver’s sister (Miss Neharjan) with fever, and a mali with eye trouble. Finally, a 13 July 1964 letter from J. Walter Thompson Far Eastern Company asks Miss Jinnah to confirm the employment period (April 1962 – June 1964) and conduct of Syed Moazzam Hussain Jafri, who had applied for a typist position and claimed to be her former Private Secretary.
