38/2 Elgin Road, Calcutta,

Dear Mr Jinnah,

Many thanks for your letter of the 2nd August 1938. I regret the delay in replying to it. As the issue is a very important one, I desire to place your letter before the Congress Working Committee at its next meeting in September. Thereafter you will hear from me again.

With kind regards,
Yours sincerely, Subhas Bose
