Abstract: This collection consists of letters addressed to M.A. Jinnah, written in 1939 and 1940, discussing the political landscape in India during the early years of World War II. The correspondents express concerns about the dissatisfaction among Congress leaders and emphasize the importance of ensuring Muslim interests are protected in any future constitutional arrangements. The letters highlight the Muslim League's efforts to consolidate its position and seek Jinnah's guidance on matters such as the Working Committee and broader political strategies.

Description: These four documents offer a glimpse into the political communications received by M.A. Jinnah during a pivotal period in Indian history. The letters, though partially fragmented, reveal the anxieties and aspirations of Muslim League supporters regarding the constitutional future of India after World War II. Writers express confidence in Jinnah's leadership and stress the need for the Muslim League to secure guarantees that Muslim interests will not be overridden by majority rule. The correspondence underscores Jinnah's central role in shaping the League's response to Congress maneuvers and in building a unified political front. SCANNED BY: NATIONAL ARCHIVES OF PAKISTAN.
