The author of the "Shannon" letter states that Blavatsky was one of 
the "amanuensis chelas" and says that from 1885 onward she was the 
only one, which suggests Damodar was the other. It was in 1885 that 
Damodar froze to death trying to get into Tibet. A behavior which is 
radically inconsistent with the statements of Hodgson and others that 
he was a con artist who did not believe in the mahatmas.
