[Letter to Mr Girish Munshi]

Summary

This one-page English office letter, dated September 16, 1974, is issued from the Swatantra Party national headquarters in Bombay and signed by V. P. Bhatia. It addresses Girish Munshi as “Girishbhai” and confirms an appointment with Piloo Mody on Thursday, September 19, 1974, at 11 a.m. in Mody & Colgan’s office at Stadium House, Churchgate, Bombay 20. The letter states that the appointment has also been confirmed with Parmanandji and asks Munshi to confirm it when he meets Mody.

Handwritten marginal notes appear in the lower-right portion of the page, apparently adding political or organisational reminders, but their wording is only partly legible. The page provides evidence of routine coordination within the Swatantra Party at the time of its 1974 dissolution, but it does not explain the purpose or outcome of the proposed meeting.
