10111947 Text of Telegram dated November 10, 1947 from the Pakistan Prime Minister to the Prime Minister of India

'"For Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru from Liaquat Ali Khan.

I have received your telegram No. 304 dated November 8th

-regarding Kashmir and have also had an account of your discussions with Sardar Abdur Rab Nishtar and Mohammed Ali. I have also seen draft agreements prepared by Lord Ismay, Women and Mohammed Ali. I agree with you that early settlement of the Kashmir question is essential to restore good relations between the two Dominions. Indeed every effort must be made to remove all causes of friction. For this purpose a very early meeting between us is necessary.

If I had been fit enough to travel I should have come to Delhi but, unfortunately, I am still confined to bed. I, therefore, invite you to come to Lahore at an early date convenient to

you for a discussion of outstanding questions and hope that you will be able to accept this invitation."
