I, therefore, requested you to kindly think over the humble suggestions made by and ordinary citizens and implement the same otherwise you will be held responsible by God for not saving Pakistan, the pillar of Islam and for not saving the innocent Muslim lives in East Pakistan.
Do not consider the enemy weak. They may rise again. Do not talk of democracy till the internal enemies in East and West Pakistan are totally annihilated and defeated on all fronts. The recent talk of transfer of power by Mr. Bhutto has encouraged the traitor Awami Leaguers and the are threatening the masses who are co-operating with the Military that they will punish them as they are bound to come to power in one shape or the other. This has saved them and they are now adopting the tactics of wolf in lamb's disguise. Let Mr. Bhutto have the courage to pass at least seven days with his family in a remote village of East Pakistan without being guarded by Police and Military, before he talks of transfer of power. Internal enemies are more dangerous than external enemies and to eliminate and destroy them is a Herculian task.
Thanking you in anticipation and praying for your success.

Bastards at GHQ did not to our request for a med (ical) bd (board) at Malir or Hyd (Hyderabad). Maj. Burki is in abbottabad. He is coming to Pindi today to meet Papoo and take him to Kohat for med (ical) Board. Burki told me that you are not very happy there. I understand the reason. But my dear you have to adjust to those unusual environment there somehow. It is good to know that at least Rashid is there to give you both a little diversion from the unhappy episodes. I am extremely busy nowadays. Children are all back from Hospital. Thank God I have vainly tried to contact Col Riaz on telephone. Today I am writing to him. You
