This is one of hundreds of letters Osho wrote to Ma Anandmayee, then known as Madan Kunwar Parakh. The date is unclear but the best guess for when it was written is 8th October 1962. See discussion for a consideration of that. 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 couple of the hand-written marks that have been observed in other letters: a black tick mark in the upper right corner and a mirror-image number in the bottom right corner. As with some other recent letters, there are actually two numbers there, one crossed out (138) and replaced by a pink number, 140. Also in the upper corner beside the tick mark is a small circular ink spot, of uncertain meaning and significance, not seen before in other letters.
The letter has been published, in Bhavna Ke Bhojpatron Par Osho (भावना के भोजपत्रों पर ओशो) (2002 Diamond edition, p 165). There the date is represented as 28 Oct. See discussion. We are awaiting a transcription and translation.
