Kazi Sabyasachi's correspondence reveals his role managing his father's literary legacy and maintaining family connections. His postcards to Kazi Abdus Salam (nicknamed Hām̐du) in Hijalgarha often carried urgent markings, suggesting time-sensitive matters. The formal address notations (“Shree Hām̐du Sāheb. Kolkata. Biśesh Jarurī”) indicate the respectful yet familiar relationship between them. A significant letter from Alim R. Khan (Dacca, East Pakistan, 1958) discusses royalty remittance for Nazrul Islam's published works, highlighting the cross-border literary business dealings despite political divisions. The collection contains a copied version of Nazrul’s song “Phariẏād” in Sabyasachi's handwriting, demonstrating his role in preserving his father's creative works. On the same document's reverse, Sabyasachi drafted a letter to his mother Pramila regarding legal complications over royalty claims, revealing the family's ongoing struggles to manage Nazrul's intellectual property rights and secure financial stability.
