In the past, the non-Ahmad i ulema had told Muslims in gen- eral that our references were not reliable as they were reproduced from our Ahmad i newspapers, but this letter bears the signature of Dr. Sir ‘All a mah Muhammad Iqb a l. He writes: As your Community is well disciplined with many capable persons, you will be able to perform many useful deeds for the Muslims. As far as the matter of the Board is concerned, this is a very useful idea. I am ready for its membership. To be its President, some capable person younger than me will be more appropriate.

This conference met in Simla in 1931 at the house of Naw a b Sir Z ulfiq a r
