Abstract: A letter from Nawab Jan Mohammad Khan, M.L.A., to M.A. Jinnah ("Quaid-e-Azam") written on the occasion of Id. The writer reminds Jinnah of a previously scheduled interview in Karachi that was cancelled due to Jinnah's sudden illness. With Jinnah scheduled to visit Karachi again for the All India Muslim League session, the writer, along with K.B. Nawab Amirali Khan Lahori, M.L.A., requests a new interview to discuss the "agitated affairs" of Sind. The letter highlights the constant demand for Jinnah's attention to provincial matters from local leaders.

Description: This letter is a clear example of the immense demand placed on M.A. Jinnah's time and leadership by political figures from across India. It demonstrates how provincial leaders sought direct access to him during his visits to discuss local political crises ("agitated affairs"). The mention of a prior cancelled meeting due to Jinnah's illness also provides a small, humanizing glimpse into the physical toll his political work took. The document underscores Jinnah's central role as the primary arbiter and strategist for Muslim League affairs at both the national and provincial levels, even for a province like Sind which was a Muslim-majority area and a core part of the proposed Pakistan.
