This is one of hundreds of letters Osho wrote to Ma Anandmayee, then known as Madan Kunwar Parekh. It was written on 19th February 1963. The letterhead has not been seen before among letters to Anandmayee but there is a previously seen example in Letter written on 12 Jan 1963 am. It has his name in a much larger and messier font to the right of and above the rest:

Darshan Vibhag [Department of Philosophy]
Mahakoshal Kala Mahavidyalaya [Mahakoshal Arts University]
115, Napier Town
Jabalpur (M.P.)

Osho's salutation in this letter is "प्रिय मां", Priya Maan, Dear Mom. There are a couple of new kinds of hand-written marks on the letter: on each of its two pages there is a black tick mark in the upper right corner, and below that a 1 and 2 in parentheses to indicate first and second page. As well, there are faint figures in the bottom right corner of each which may well be three-digit numbers showing through the page, but they are too faint to make out

While we are awaiting a transcription and translation, we can note that this letter has been published in Bhavna Ke Bhojpatron Par Osho (भावना के भोजपत्रों पर ओशो) on p 200-201. The book even goes so far as to reproduce the contact information written in the letter's PS for Sundarlal Jain, Osho's event organizer in Delhi. Mysteriously, they have the date as 17 Feb, but the 19 can be clearly seen in the image of the letter. One further small mystery: each of the pages is on a separate piece of letterhead, not on the reverse side. But a couple of lines of writing can be seen on the reverse of the first page
