  • This small collection of correspondence also includes 2 letters from the Broadbent's house servant who was called Mohomed Din. As he was illiterate, he had a scribe to write his letters for him. Mohomed Din came from Gurdaspur in the Punjab, an area which was greatly affected by the violence during Partition.
