Letter written on 10 Jan 1963

This is one of hundreds of letters Osho wrote to Ma Anandmayee, then known as Madan Kunwar Parekh. It was written on 10th January 1963. The letterhead has a simple "रजनीश" (Rajneesh) in the top left area, in a heavy but florid font, and "115, Napier Town, Jabalpur (M.P.) in the top right, in a lighter but still somewhat florid font.

The salutation is "प्रिय मां", Priya Maan, Dear Mom. There are a couple of the hand-written marks which have been found on many of Anandmayee's letters, a black tick mark in the upper right corner and a pale mirror-image number in the bottom right. And in fact, in a new variation on that theme, there are two numbers there: "160" is clear, the other seems to be a crossed-out "158", preceded by "patra nan", or "letter number".

This letter has been published, in Bhavna Ke Bhojpatron Par Osho (भावना के भोजपत्रों पर ओशो) on p 189 (2002 Diamond edition). We are awaiting a transcription and translation.
