Abstract: A telegram sent by M.A. Jinnah from his residence at 10 Aurangzeb Road, New Delhi, urgently summoning Darwesh Khan (a Pleader and Secretary of the Muslim League) and requesting the accompaniment of Bakhyamal Khan for a meeting in Delhi on the "16th" at "10:30". The purpose was to discuss "important" League affairs, demonstrating Jinnah's direct, hands-on management of party organization and his role in coordinating key personnel from the provinces.
