[Letter to N Dandekar]

Summary

This seven-page scan is a composite of several correspondence items rather than a single continuous letter. The principal item is a Gujarati letter dated 2 May 1968, addressed to N. Dandekar and associated with K. B. Patel. Its subject is the payment of approximately Rs. 5,000 claimed by Patel for salary and expenses incurred while serving as an office secretary of the Swatantra Party in Ahmedabad. The surrounding Gujarati pages appear to continue or document this dispute, referring to requests, acknowledgements, and efforts by party officials to settle the amount.

The scan also includes an English letter dated 10 January 1968, signed “Jashbhai,” asking that money due to K. B. Patel be paid promptly, another short Gujarati communication concerning payment, and a Swatantra Party circular dated 5 March 1966 about the Central Parliamentary Board’s review of procedures for nominating prospective candidates. The documents therefore provide evidence of both party-administrative finance and electoral organisation, but their exact relationship and original filing order require further archival review. The record is in Gujarati overall but contains substantial English material.
