Lessing, Doris May, 1919-2013

Scope and content

2 items, drafts of Shah's obituary written by Lessing. Discusses his teaching, a brief summary of his upbringing, and his influence on her interest in Sufism. The first draft (item 001) of the obituary seems to be annotated by hand by someone other than Lessing. The second draft (item 002) includes a handwritten message from Lessing to Tahir (most probably Tahir Shah), writing that if he approves of this draft then she will send it to The Telegraph for publication.
