The first place to look for the mate to an unknown PS is nearby file numbers. Thus, for the "Unknown PS" at File:Sohan img605.jpg we look at 604 and 606. And because this batch of letter images has been "cleaned up", it is helpful to look at the original files in G**gle Drive. There it becomes crystal clear: The sheets of paper that comprise these two letter-bits are photographed together at right angles back-to-back, and numbered 604 and 605. These images are reproduced here.

The clincher is the bleed-through information between one image and the other:

1. The very distinctive letterhead -- so far unique among those Osho has used for his letters -- is seen clearly (in reverse) protruding above the sheet the PS is written on.
2. The last part of the PS sticks out from the left side (in reverse) of the main sheet.
3. There is a mark made on the back side of the PS that can be seen (in reverse) showing through faintly on the image of the PS.
4. Above the letterhead the paper is cut serrated, with a piece torn off. That same damage is seen (mirror-image) on the sheet sticking up from the PS sheet.

And so on. As it happens, much of this bleed-through info is lost in the cleaned-up versions being used to illustrate the page. Thus, it is useful to maintain the original files on Drive at least for a while for research such as this. -- doofus-9 06:56, 13 February 2020 (UTC)
