Theos-Talk Archives (January 1998 Message tt00113)

Most of the unpublished Judge letters are in the archives of the Adyar TS and in
the archives of the Pasadena TS.  The unpublished Judge letters to Olcott in the
Adyar archives, if published, would  either show that Olcott's accusations
concerning Judge's letters are correct or that they are not.  This is an important
issue concerning the Judge case.  The Pasadena TS archives has the Olcott side of
the correspondence, but these would be of no importance in resolving this
question, unless they were made available along with the Judge side of the
correspondence.  I'm personally aware of several people who have pressured Adyar
to make these letters available since the 60s, and Adyar has so far refused.  One
of the people was the late Boris deZirkoff.  The Pasadena TS has expressed to
Adyar a willingness to publish Olcott side of the correspondence providing Adyar
agrees to publish the Judge side.  Their reasoning is that it would be a manner of
fairness that both sides should be available.

Adyar has given no official reason for being unwilling to make the Judge letters
public.

ECHOES OF THE ORIENT was published by Point Loma Publications.
