[Lette to Mr Masani and Kalyani]

Summary

A one-page typed letter dated 27 February 1971 from H. J. Dhebar, writing from Harihar Society, Tul Jay-Plot 42-A, Rajkot, and addressed jointly to “Respected Shri Masani Saheb” and “Respected Shri Kalyanibhai”. The letter is procedural: Dhebar reports that he is enclosing a short account of the work he did on the addressees’ behalf between 15 February and 27 February 1971, and closes with a personal benediction wishing them electoral success “with thumping majority” — language that places the letter squarely in the run-up to the March 1971 Lok Sabha general election, in which Masani was defending his Rajkot seat for the Swatantra Party. The enclosed report itself is not part of the rendered pages; only the cover letter survives here.

Key points

• Handwritten date on the letterhead reads 27-2-71; the reporting period Dhebar describes spans 15-2-71 to 27-2-71.
• Sent from Harihar Society, Tul Jay-Plot 42-A, Rajkot — the constituency Masani represented in the Lok Sabha.
• Jointly addressed to “Shri Masani Saheb” and “Shri Kalyanibhai”, suggesting the two were coordinating campaign or organisational work together.
• The letter’s substantive content is the enclosure, described only as “a short report of the work done by me”; the report itself is not in the rendered page.
• Closes with a benediction — “May God give you success with thumping majority” — explicitly framing the letter in the context of the imminent 1971 general election.
• Signed “Sincerely yours (H. J. Dhebar)” with a manuscript signature; the initials “M. A.” appear under the printed name at the top.
