For this letter, no envelope or address is available. Moreover, he has not addressed Deriya Ji by name as he has in most of his other letters. For example, he would write "Poojya Deriya Ji" or "Shraddheya Deriya Ji" (venerable, honoured), later using the more familiar "Priya Deriya Ji" (dear, beloved), but here he has begun his letter only with "Chidatman", a "generic" greeting he has used in a number of his letters. Thus, we cannot be entirely sure it IS sent to Deriya Ji, and are awaiting confirmation.

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, the only one outside of that earlier span, 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.

For this letter, no envelope or address is available. Moreover, he has not addressed Deriya Ji by name as he has in most of his other letters. For example, he would write "Poojya Deriya Ji" or "Shraddheya Deriya Ji" (venerable, honoured), later using the more familiar "Priya Deriya Ji" (dear, beloved), but here he has begun his letter only with "Chidatman", a "generic" greeting he has used in a number of his letters. Thus, we cannot be entirely sure it IS sent to Deriya Ji, and are awaiting confirmation.

This fairly short letter is dated 10th September 1965. An English translation was published in Sw Ageh Bharti's book Beloved Osho, and likely the Hindi original version was published previously in one of Ageh's Hindi books. It is said also to be in line to be published eventually in a larger edition of Prem Ke Swar (प्रेम के स्वर) (as letter #67), though this development appears not to be fast-tracked.
