Talk:Letter written on 24 Dec 1965 pm

The possible existence of a missing PS suggests, among other things, that it may be found among Osho's undated letters to Sohan. Intriguingly, there IS an undated letter from Sohan's collection that qualifies, fitting the context of the day well, to the extent that an analysis of its content leads to a fairly solid deduction that is IS dated 24 Dec 1965.

How wrong can it be that it is the missing putative backside of this letter? Well, it is not a backside to anything; it is written on the front side of its own piece of letterhead. Could this letterhead be printed on both sides? That would deal with this obstacle, but it looks unlikely. This letterhead IS printed on high-quality handmade paper which makes it difficult to see through. Writing and printing do not bleed through enough to be readable, as has often been the case with other letters. But in fact, one can see in the image of this letter a little bit of handwriting bleeding through, enough to see that there is something there, just not enough to read. And one cannot see any bleed-through of letterhead printing.

And given that the note to turn the page over seems not to have been written by Osho, it remains highly possible that what is written on the backside has also not been written by him. It could even be a note referring to the undated letter, or serving some other archiving function.
