Abstract: The Governor's letter addresses the difficulty of raising further subscriptions in West Punjab for the United Nations Appeal for Children (UNAC), given the heavy contributions already made (about Rs 80 lakhs) to the Quaid-i-Azam's Relief Fund and the need to fund the Pakistan Red Cross Mission to Kashmir. He suggests obtaining a grant from the Quaid-i-Azam's Relief Fund (which has a balance of Rs 50 lakhs) and proposes establishing a first-class orphanage for refugee children. The draft reply acknowledges these challenges and suggests forming a Provincial Committee to prepare a scheme before making an appeal.

Description: The letter discusses the financial challenges of appealing for more subscriptions in West Punjab for the UNAC, noting that the province has already contributed about Rs 80 lakhs to the Quaid-i-Azam's Relief Fund and must also fund the Pakistan Red Cross Mission to Kashmir. The writer suggests securing a grant from the Quaid-i-Azam's Relief Fund, which has an unspent balance of Rs 50 lakhs, and proposes setting up a well-endowed orphanage for refugee children. The second document is an undated draft reply on a standard "Department/Office" form. It thanks the sender for the March 23rd letter, acknowledges the difficulty faced in West Punjab, and suggests that the best course would be to form a Provincial Committee for fund collection and submit a scheme to them for approval before making an appeal.
