Abstract: A telegram receipt documenting a message sent by M.A. Jinnah from his residence at 10 Aurangzeb Road, New Delhi. The telegram urgently summons an unnamed individual from Mardan to Delhi for a meeting on the "16th" at "10:30" to discuss "important matters" related to the "League Organisation." This document exemplifies Jinnah's hands-on leadership and his direct involvement in managing and consolidating the political structure of the Muslim League.

Description: This primary document is a telegram receipt from the Indian Posts and Telegraphs Department, capturing a direct instruction from M.A. Jinnah. It serves as a tangible record of his active role as the leader of the All-India Muslim League, demonstrating his meticulous attention to the party's organisational strength. The urgency and directness of the message highlight the critical nature of League affairs during this period, likely in the 1940s. It is a significant piece for understanding the day-to-day operational leadership of Jinnah beyond major public speeches and political negotiations. SCANNED BY: NATIONAL ARCHIVES OF PAKISTAN.
