Letter written on 21 Nov 1962

This is one of hundreds of letters Osho wrote to Ma Anandmayee, then known as Madan Kunwar Parekh. It was written on 21st November 1962. 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. And after a long string of letters with two and sometimes three numbers, with all but one crossed out, we now revert to the previous norm of just one number, unfortunately not entirely legible, either 147 or 148.

The letter has been published, in Bhavna Ke Bhojpatron Par Osho (भावना के भोजपत्रों पर ओशो) (2002 Diamond edition, p 176). The book has it dated as the 29th, but it is clearly the same letter. We are awaiting a transcription and translation.
