Letter written on 7 Aug 1962 xm

This is one of hundreds of letters Osho wrote to Ma Anandmayee, then known as Madan Kunwar Parakh. It was written on 7th August 1962, around midnight. Unusually, it also has a PS dated separately, on 9th August in the afternoon. 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, that number consists of not only an unusually bright and clear number (123), but that number has been crossed out and replaced by an even brighter pink number, 121.

The letter has been published, in Bhavna Ke Bhojpatron Par Osho (भावना के भोजपत्रों पर ओशो), on p 148-149 (2002 Diamond edition). Note that in the book they have the date of the PS as the 8th, but it is the same letter. We are awaiting a transcription and translation.
