Abstract: Mrs. Josephine M. Tims writes to Miss Fatima Jinnah on May 10, 1950, from Quetta, sharing her efforts to establish a modern nursery school. She explains that the school, started in January 1950 with the cooperation of educational and military authorities in Baluchistan, has met with immediate success. Encouraged by this, she now hopes to transfer the school to Karachi or its suburbs but lacks the funds to construct buildings. She requests Miss Jinnah's aid and support in securing accommodation, possibly in Malir or other suburbs, suggesting that as the wife of a military officer she might be allotted a military bungalow as a special case.
