This is one of hundreds of letters Osho wrote to Ma Anandmayee, then known as Madan Kunwar Parekh. It was written on 1st November 1962. It has a small PS which is dated separately, on 2nd Nov. 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 few of the hand-written marks that have been observed in other letters: black and red tick marks in the upper right corner and a mirror-image number in the bottom right corner. And in a new variation on that theme, there are actually three numbers there, one crossed out (143) and replaced by another number which is itself crossed out and finally replaced by a pink number, 145.

The letter has been published, in Bhavna Ke Bhojpatron Par Osho (भावना के भोजपत्रों पर ओशो) (2002 Diamond edition, p 170). We are awaiting a transcription and translation.
