Hello Daniel,
I cannot fault your logic. I agree with you that what
was Vol I became Vol III. Are you saying that there is an existing
manuscript of this Vol III preserved in the Adyar Archives ? That Vol III
actually exists but has not been yet published ? If this is so, why did
GRS Mead not refer to it ? This is the crucial question. We are looking
for Vol III. If you are saying that it exists in Adyar then our quest is
over. What I thought everyone was saying is lost, is not. It's in Adyar,
but not yet published. Is this what you are saying ?

Orra Best,
Ian
