Abstract: This is a letter addressed to M.A. Jinnah, written from the "New Hull Camp" in November 1947. The author reports on efforts to organize the Muslim community in Cairo under the banner of the Muslim League, having successfully united previously fragmented groups. The letter discusses the plan to establish a society that will follow the League's line and mentions interactions with a Colonel (possibly a British or League official) to prevent delegations from giving speeches in India that might be detrimental to the League's cause.

Description: correspondent to Quaid-e-Azam M.A. Jinnah. Dated just months after the creation of Pakistan, the document provides a ground-level view of the efforts to galvanize international support for the new nation and counter the influence of the Indian National Congress abroad. It details the challenges and strategies involved in organizing a diaspora community, showcasing the global reach of the Pakistan movement and the ongoing political struggles in the immediate post-Partition period.
