Please allow me to suggest omitting the "open minded" part. I 
believe there is a lot of value in Theosophy, but your letter makes 
it clear that "open minded" is not a description that could be 
reasonably applied to the letter's author.

The plain fact that the masters had secret identiries does not in 
itself indicate that anything was twisted or that anyone wazs duped.
