P.B. Randolph and Blavatsky

Thanks Morten Sufilight for your question about
"involved". This got something out of Steve. 

Steve again writes:

"There is evidence she [Blavatsky] was associated
[?]with his [Randolph's] organization. . . ."

Steve, again what is the evidence that you are
referring to? 

Or are you referring to inferences and interpretations
given by Deveney in his book?

How was she "associated"? This is not at all clear to
me.

I have looked thru emails here for several days and
cannot find the exact references. Maybe I missed it? 
If you know where it is cited on theos-talk then give
that reference please.
