This is one of hundreds of letters Osho wrote to Ma Anandmayee, then known as Madan Kunwar Parakh. It was written in Gadarwara on 29th October 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. In the PS, he mentions leaving for Jabalpur on the 31st.

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. As with some other recent letters, there are actually two numbers there, one crossed out (142) and replaced by a pink number, 144.

The letter has been published, in Bhavna Ke Bhojpatron Par Osho (भावना के भोजपत्रों पर ओशो) (2002 Diamond edition, p 169). There the date is represented as 21 Sep, but it is the same letter. Letter written on 26 Oct 1962 is opposite it on p 168. It is also mysteriously mis-dated, as Sep 29. We are awaiting a transcription and translation.
