Abstract: This two-page correspondence from M.A. Alan to M.A. Jinnah covers two significant topics. The first letter reports on the Sind provincial election results, noting that 3 out of 8 Muslim League candidates were successful, including significant victories against leaders of the Sind United Party. The writer seeks Jinnah's guidance on forming a coalition government. The second letter forwards ten copies of a "Pakistan Constitution" document prepared by the Muslim National Academy of India for consideration by the Constituent Assembly, while also congratulating Jinnah on his appointment as Pakistan's first Governor-General.

Description: This correspondence provides valuable insight into the political dynamics in Sind province during the crucial period leading up to Partition. The first document demonstrates the Muslim League's growing political strength in Sind, evidenced by their ability to defeat established leaders of the Sind United Party. The request for guidance on coalition formation shows Jinnah's central role in directing provincial political strategies. The second document is particularly significant as it reveals early constitutional thinking about Pakistan's future governance structure, coming from the Muslim National Academy of India.
