[Letter to H R Pasricha]

Summary

This one-page letter, dated 24 February 1975, records S. V. Raju’s follow-up to Dr. H. R. Pasricha after a meeting in Delhi. Raju asks for a copy of the minutes of the National Executive meeting held in Bombay the previous month, noting that the minutes still need confirmation and promising to return them after making a copy.
