This is one of three letters Osho wrote to [[JK Datta]], an advocate living in Jabalpur in the 60s. It was written in the morning of the 7th of February 1964. It is all typewritten, using a typewriter whose output is almost like book-quality printing, including the English words thrown in.
This is one of three letters Osho wrote to [[JK Datta]], an advocate living in Jabalpur in the 60s. It was written in the morning of the 7th of February 1964. The whole letter is typed, and as Shri Datta's other letters have both typed and hand-written portions where the typed portions seem merely to replicate the hand-written portions, it seems best to consider this letter as another typed rendition, with the original manuscript not available for comparison. Especially given that the typed output is almost like book-quality printing, including the English words thrown in, a Hindi-capable computer must be considered a likely source, ie done much later. Compounding this impression is an error in Osho's address, 114 Napier Town instead of 115.

This is one of three letters Osho wrote to JK Datta, an advocate living in Jabalpur in the 60s. It was written in the morning of the 7th of February 1964. The whole letter is typed, and as Shri Datta's other letters have both typed and hand-written portions where the typed portions seem merely to replicate the hand-written portions, it seems best to consider this letter as another typed rendition, with the original manuscript not available for comparison. Especially given that the typed output is almost like book-quality printing, including the English words thrown in, a Hindi-capable computer must be considered a likely source, ie done much later. Compounding this impression is an error in Osho's address, 114 Napier Town instead of 115.
