Abstract: This collection of correspondence from 1943-1944 documents the continued financial support for the All India Muslim League under M.A. Jinnah's leadership. It includes a donation from the Muslims of Amb State for Bengal famine relief, a contribution from a donor in South Africa made in commemoration of a family wedding, and a small subscription from a supporter in Lahore. The letters also reference local initiatives like the "Magna Literary" society, which sought Jinnah's guidance.
