Abstract: This file contains a brief, somewhat unclear personal letter from Abdur Rasheed Choudhury to M.A. Jinnah, followed by a formal response from Jinnah. Jinnah's letter addresses Choudhury's application to join the All-India Muslim League Party in the Assembly. Jinnah emphasizes procedural formalities, enclosing the Party's Constitution and Rules and requesting a clear written commitment from Choudhury to abide by them and accept the League's policy and programme before his application can be placed before the Party for consideration.

Description: This collection consists of three scanned pages. The first two pages are a handwritten letter from Abdur Rasheed Choudhury, the content of which is partially unclear and appears to be a personal introduction or statement of intent. The third page is a crucial typed letter from M.A. Jinnah that demonstrates his role as the enforcer of institutional discipline within the Muslim League's parliamentary wing. It highlights the formal and structured process required for joining the party, underscoring Jinnah's insistence on strict adherence to the party's constitution and collective policy.
