The Letter is the story of an old man named Ali, who was very interested in hunting. His daughter Mariam had married a soldier in the Punjab regiment and had left with him, For the past five years there was no news from Mariam. Every day Ali would sit outside the post office waiting for a letter to arrive from his daughter. He was laughed at by the post man and post master and also by the other staff. Coming to the post office every morning at 4am had become a ritual with Ali. One fine day, he did not come to the post office for several days, and no one really noticed him missing. But, one day when Ali came back, he tried to talk to the post master, who was in a hurry to leave and asked Ali very rudely to stop troubling him about his daughter’s letter. After the post master left, Ali met a clerk outside the post office, and gave him five golden guineas, he told the clerk that today is his last day on earth, and if Mariam’s letter came he should leave that letter on the grave. After that incident no one saw Ali again, and no one inquired about him either.
One day, trouble came to the post master, since his daughter lay ill in another town. So, he was anxiously waiting for a letter from her. Therefore, when he saw an envelope of the colour and shape he expected, he felt that the letter might be form his daughter, but the letter was from Mariam, Ali’s daughter. The post master was shocked and asked Lakshmi Das the clerk to find out about where Ali was. That entire day the postmaster’s daughter did not come, and he for the first time understood Ali’s pain and sorrow for his daughter. The postmaster thought that next day he would give the letter to Ali himself at 4am. In the morning the postmaster was waiting with the letter, when Ali arrived. He saw that Ali had become even older, but when he looked into Ali’s eyes he saw a bright light which was not of this earth. The postmaster was horrified and completely scared, in front of his eyes Ali took the letter and walked out of the door and disappeared. When Lakshmi Das returned he said that Ali had died three months ago. The postmaster was terrified, he saw Mariam’s letter on the floor and Ali’s image was still in his eyes. That evening the postmaster and Lakshmi Das laid the letter on Ali’s grave. The story ends with the postmaster still waiting anxiously for a letter from his daughter.

the letter is a stry about a prsn clled Ali who used to be a great Hunter bt he left his hunting when his daughter got married. since then for past 5 yrs he has been visiting the post office in a hope of a ltter from his daughter. he waited nd waited people at post office used to joke nd laugh on him sometimes say his name as if there's letter for him but they were just playing prank with him for fan but he said nothing to them suddenly he stop coming to post office regularly as used to come every single day since 5 yrs. Ali camed back more weak. he knew today was his lat day so he gave all his saving or the gold coins to the clerk or Lakshmi das to put his letter on his grave. postmaster saw Ali's soul nd gave the letter to it but he surprise as he thought it was Ali not the soul he felt so guilty of talking to him so rudly nd was too waiting for a letter from her daughter who was ill in the next town
