From 1957 to 1963, Osho wrote many letters to Babulal Ji Deriya, of Babai (MP), India. The wiki has images of quite a few of them. Most are written on postcards. This one is written on one of Osho's earliest letterheads, from his days in Napier Town in Jabalpur. See the Letters section of Osho's manuscripts for links to all the letters we have images of.
