[Letter to Piloo Mody]

Summary

This one-page English office letter, dated January 15, 1974, is from Girish Munshi to Piloo Mody, MP. Munshi reports that the local occupants have not followed an arrangement made in Mody’s office, in the presence of Dr. R. C. Cooper, concerning payment of the rent attributable to the portion of the premises used by Mody.

Munshi states that rent has been in arrears since September and asks Mody to instruct Mr. Bhattia to settle the matter and ensure regular payment in future. The letter is signed by Girish Munshi and copies are marked to Dr. R. C. Cooper and Mr./P. Bhattia. The page visibly contains an apparent date inconsistency: although the letter is dated January 15, 1974, its body refers to an arrangement made on 18th September 1974.
