The letter is dated 3rd June 1963 and addressed to Lala Sundarlal Jain, a son of Lala Motilal Jain, the founder of the major Indological publishing house, Motilal Banarsidass. The salutation is his customary one of those times, "प्रिय आत्मन", or "Beloved Soul".

The wiki has no image of the letter but we have made a transcription of the text from its first known publication, in the Oct 1 1969 issue of Yukrand (युक्रांद), image right, text below. That issue of Yukrand has five letters addressed to Sundarlalji, introduced thusly:

पत्र प्रेरणा
(ला० सुन्दरलाल जी, बंगलो रोड-जवाहर नगर दिल्ली-७ को प्राचार्य रजनीश जी द्वारा लिखे गये कुछ पत्र)

It appears also to have been published in Prem Ke Phool (प्रेम के फूल), a collection of early letters, as the text description of Prem Ke Phool ~ 020, the letter on this date in the 1962 Timeline, matches closely a loose translation of the transcription below. And the full translation turns up in the CD-ROM's version of A Cup of Tea as letter #8.

Transcription:

प्रिय आत्मन ।
। प्रणाम । पूरी मई बाहर रहने से स्वास्थ्य पर कुछ बुरा असर हुआ। इसलिये जून में आयोजित बम्बई, कलकत्ता और जयपुर के सारे कार्यक्रम स्थगित कर दिये हैं।

समाधि योग पर आप प्रयोग कर रहे हैं यह जान कर प्रसन्नता हुई। परिणाम की नहीं, प्रयोग की ही चिन्ता करें; परिणाम तो एक दिन अाही जाता है, वह अनुक्रम से नहीं, अनायास से अाता है, ज्ञात भी नहीं पड़ता है और उसका आगमन हो जाता है और एक क्षण में जीवन कुछ से कुछ हो जाता है। भगवान महावीर पर अभी नहीं लिख रहा हूं। लिखने के प्रति मुझमें कोई प्रेरणा ही नहीं है । आपकी जबरदस्ती से कुछ हो सके तो बात दूसरी है । शेष शुभ ।
