Abstract: Miss Fatima Jinnah writes to Mrs. Margaret C. Godley on January 27, 1948, thanking her for her letter of December 2 and the two publications sent, which she found very interesting. She draws Mrs. Godley's attention to the fact that there is no such country as India after August 15, 1947, when the division took place, creating two separate countries: the Indian Union (with the word "Hindustan" handwritten above) and Pakistan. Miss Jinnah assures her that Pakistan will always be glad to keep in touch and exchange information with the International Department of the National Council, and thanks her for her good wishes for 1948 and the field of social welfare.

Description: This document is a typewritten letter from Miss Fatima Jinnah, dated January 27, 1948, addressed to Mrs. Margaret C.
