Abstract: This two-page letter from Dr. S. Mohammad Alam to M.A. Jinnah, dated 21st April 1936, expresses appreciation for the resolutions of the All India Muslim League and acknowledges Jinnah's leadership in revitalizing the organization. While welcoming the League's initiatives, Dr. Alam regrets his inability to attend the Delhi meetings due to his ongoing commitment to the Shahidgunj Mosque Case, where he is being assisted by Maulana Abdul Qadar. Both individuals express their support for the League's work and propose to discuss the matters personally when Jinnah visits Lahore on 29th April as reported in the press.
