This is one of hundreds of letters Osho wrote to Ma Anandmayee, then known as Madan Kunwar Parekh. It was written on 26th August 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 couple of the hand-written marks that have been observed in other letters: a black tick mark in the top 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 (126) and replaced by a pink number, 128. The tick mark is hard to see, being under the part of the letter which is folded over, but it is there. The PS mentions events upcoming in Mumbai on 31 Aug and 1-3 Sep.

The letter has been published, in Bhavna Ke Bhojpatron Par Osho (भावना के भोजपत्रों पर ओशो) (2002 Diamond edition), on p 152. We are awaiting a transcription and translation.
