[Letter to Maharaja P K Deo]

Summary

This two-page correspondence from March 1985 concerns the preparation and publication of political speeches. Maharaja P. K. Deo writes to S. V. Raju that he is undertaking doctoral research on the Swatantra Party and offers to share material from his parliamentary and public life. He also explains that he intends to compile and publish some of his major parliamentary speeches, requesting help identifying a capable editor and printer in Madras.
