I received these from my friend M A Butt, a veteran journalist. He had also sent the same to another friend. This guy did a very bad thing. First of all he pretended that these are from his own collection. Secondly he put his logo/name all over the place.

I thank Mr Butt for making available these rare documents to us and present them here without any watermark.
