Dear Bart:

I would say that this is one of those pieces of information that it is not
possible to give a good speculation about.  And if we could, what would be
the value to others ?

Jake has suggested "sub-principle" that ought to be considered, as part of
the "mystery" of the 49 fires ?  In S D  HPB speaks of every principle being
correlated to the rest.

I do not think we have enough information to pin that down adequately, do
you ?
