The letters Osho wrote to Anandmayee have several recurring features which are noted in the table below so as to discern any patterns. Potential patterns revolve around a few things:

1. Blue numbers in circles are found in most letters so far. Some of them also have a red tick mark in the upper left area above the salutation. It is not known who wrote these numbers, when or why.
2. Dates: File numbers of letters with known dates so far are in chronological order. It may be that the undated ones appear in that same chronological order, amongst them.
3. The "115" in the Mahakoshal / Yogesh Bhavan letterhead is handwritten, and is actually missing in some letters.
File #   Date Blue # "115" other features, comments
786 22 Nov 1960 none no Y no "blue #" in circle but a black "no. 1" upper center
787 undated 2 yes N
788 25 Nov 1960 3 yes ---- different letterhead
789 29 Nov 1960 4 no Y
790 undated 5 yes Y
791 8 Dec 1960 5 no N same number 5 as 790
792 15 Dec 1960 6 yes Y appears to have a blue "7" without a circle in the middle in addition to its "6"

Sarloji, my proposal for undated letter is to keep them in guessed period, i.e. to put them near by known letters. E.g. Undated Letter written to Anandmayee 787 to Timeline 1960. Or will we cut off guessed period and to put them to Timeline year unknown?--DhyanAntar 06:48, 7 November 2019 (UTC)


New organization of the data above keeps them arranged in file # order, so it's easy to keep track. The undated ones can go in Timeline year unknown, actually MUST go there, but there they can have the year as "1960?" or whatever year /month their dated adjacent file #s have. The blue numbers may eventually assist in pointing toward their place in the chrono order. Or may not. -- doofus-9 07:55, 7 November 2019 (UTC)
