This is one of three letters Osho wrote to [[JK Datta]], an advocate living in Jabalpur in the 60s. It was written on the 27th of September 1968. It appears at first to be partly handwritten and partly typed, but the typed part in fact turns to be only a transcription of the manuscript, aside from the dates being different. The manuscript part, indicating 27 Sep, has been taken as authoritative.
