[Letter to Mr Homi Modi]

Summary

This two-page English document is a handwritten personal letter from A. D. Shroff, dated 13 August 1959, on headed stationery from Beau-Site, Worli Parade, Bombay. It begins “My dear Homi” and refers to a recent conversation in the Reading Room of the writer’s club. Shroff appears to discuss enclosing or sending a cheque for Rs. 20 and mentions his visiting card, although parts of the handwriting are difficult to decipher.

The second rendered page is an accompanying address card, apparently addressed to “Mr. D. N. D. Khandalavala” at Beau-Site, Worli Parade, Bombay, with a telephone number. The card’s relationship to the letter’s addressee is not fully clear: the letter addresses “Homi,” while the card names D. N. D. Khandalavala. The closing signature appears to read “A. D. Shroff,” but remains somewhat uncertain.
