Abstract: A comprehensive collection of letters and telegrams between M.A. Jinnah and his chief lieutenant, Nawabzada Liaquat Ali Khan, spanning a critical decade. The documents cover a wide range of issues, from the daily management of the Muslim League--including party discipline, candidate selection, and the establishment of a central office--to high-stakes political strategy. This includes forming the League's stance for the 1946 Interim Government, managing the party's finances (including Jinnah's accounts), and responding to international issues like the Zionist movement. The correspondence reveals Liaquat Ali Khan's role as the operational manager of the League and his unwavering execution of Jinnah's directives.
