Letter written on 4 Aug 1962 am

This is one of hundreds of letters Osho wrote to Ma Anandmayee, then known as Madan Kunwar Parekh. It was written on 4th August 1962 in the morning. 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: black and red tick marks in the top right corner and a mirror-image number in the bottom right corner. However, there are actually two numbers there, one crossed out (122) and replaced by a pink number, 124.

The letter has been published, in Bhavna Ke Bhojpatron Par Osho (भावना के भोजपत्रों पर ओशो), on p 147 (2002 Diamond edition). Note that Osho's dating does not include the "am" but the text of the letter begins, "It is morning". We are awaiting a full transcription and translation.
