Letter written on 18 Nov 1962 pm
This is one of hundreds of letters Osho wrote to Ma Anandmayee, then known as Madan Kunwar Parekh. It was written on 18th November 1962 in the evening. 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.
Osho's salutation in this letter is a fairly typical "प्रिय मां", Priya Maan, Dear Mom. There are a few of the hand-written marks that have been observed in other letters: red and black tick marks in the upper right corner and a mirror-image number in the bottom right corner. There is additionally a third almost-tick mark near the red one, but this looks too accidental to have significance, especially as we can see it from both sides of the paper.
Having images of both sides also allows us to see clearly the mirror-image number dynamic. And here, there is yet another variation on that scenario, a single digit crossed out so that an apparent 147 becomes 149.
The letter has been published, in Bhavna Ke Bhojpatron Par Osho (भावना के भोजपत्रों पर ओशो) (2002 Diamond edition, p 174-5). We are awaiting a transcription and translation.
