[Letter to S Anand]

Summary

This single-page English letter, dated 17 September 1959, is addressed to Mr. S. Anand in New Delhi. Miss B. S. Mirza, writing as secretary to M. R. Masani, acknowledges Anand’s earlier letter and conveys Masani’s appreciation for the sentiments and good wishes expressed in it.

The letter records the transmission of two enclosures: a copy of Masani’s opening remarks at the Preparatory Convention of the Swatantra Party held in Bombay, and the party’s Statement of Principles.
