In October, 1886, HPB in Ostende wrote to A.P. Sinnett in London:

"Well today Dj. Khool put in an appearance. . . . he told me that 
Master sent in a word for you, and me to tell you: 

'Sinnett has evidently forgotten what he had read in the Comm. on the 
7 Stanzas (Book II Archaic period). . . . '

". . . . Well, D. Kh. said before parting company that I better write 
and tell you all; that there was a chance for me that either you, or 
Mr. Crookes would refuse to read over that which you had already 
read, and Mr. C. something that he is sure to find stupid, unless he 
reads the Comm. on Stanza VI with great attention. Well I am ready to 
do my duty. But I do hope Mr. Crookes will refuse."

"It is true that ever since you left [Ostende in July], Master has 
made me add some thing daily to the old MSS. so that much of it is 
new and much more that I do not understand myself. So that with God's 
help you may find in it something to attract the attention of even 
such an eminent man as Mr. Crookes. . . . " Quoted from:

Notice at THIS POINT in time that the Seven Stanzas of Dzyan on 
Cosmogony and HPB's Commentaries thereon were in the manuscript of 
Book II or Volume II on the Archaic Period, as it was described. 
COMPARE this arrangement to what Bertram Keightley wrote about the 
arrangement of the volumes when he first read the SD manuscript in 
London in the summer of 1887.
