W Judge's Communication with Master
Jan 12, 1998 03:27 PM
by David Green
Jerrry-thanks for comments but
I asked-Are there Judge letters (1887-93)
showing this new development? I mean
letters (87-93)written by W Judge showing
he had intimate contact with Master.
Again I asked---Did W Judge's direct
contact with Master occur only after Mrs
Blavatsky departed this life?
1879-87 appears from Judge's
letters to be period when W Judge was not
in direct contact or had few contacts.
Are there letters of W Judge showing
when this new direct intimate contact
started up 1887 or after?
I've received E Garett's book from
correspondent in England. What is
earliest Master letter precipitated
thru W Judge in 1880s (1887 or later?)?
Thanks to all public and private
email correspondents on this subject.
May try to do thesis on Judge if
okayed.
