Abstract: This collection comprises official letters and a telegram showcasing M.A. Jinnah's role in the day-to-day administration of the All-India Muslim League. A key document details Jinnah's meticulous handling of funds collected by M.A.H. Ispahani for the Muslim National Guard, where Jinnah explicitly disclaims responsibility while facilitating the transfer of the balance to Sir Currimbhoy Ebrahim.

Description: This set of documents provides a revealing glimpse into the administrative machinery of the All-India Muslim League under M.A. Jinnah's presidency. It illustrates Jinnah's careful and legally precise approach to managing party affairs, as seen in his handling of an irregular financial collection for the Muslim National Guard. His letter distances himself from unauthorized actions while ensuring the funds are properly redirected, demonstrating his insistence on procedural correctness. The subsequent letters of appointment for the Working Committee further emphasize the formalization and institutionalization of the League's structure under his leadership, moving from mass mobilization to structured governance.
