Abstract: A diverse collection of telegrams, personal letters, and official conference documents from 1937-1938, addressed to or involving M.A. Jinnah as President of the All-India Muslim League. The documents showcase the League's active role in opposing the Government's Income Tax Bill (1938), coordinating political strategy, managing election campaigns (e.g., Multan by-election), addressing grievances of Muslim communities (e.g., merchants, students, civil servants), and managing internal League politics and public relations, illustrating the building of a coherent political movement.

Description: This collection provides a vivid snapshot of the All-India Muslim League's political activities and organizational challenges in the late 1930s under M.A. Jinnah's leadership. It captures the day-to-day workings of the party, from high-level strategy meetings and legislative opposition to grassroots concerns about employment and representation.
