We can never be 100% certain of anything. All we can be is more or less certain. While we cannot take the information written in the Mahatma letters as certainty, or even near-certainty, they are more certain than, for example, information anybody on this list writes without attribution. In other words, to choose whether to accept something or not, we take all the evidence available, evaluate it, and decide for ourselves. While argument from authority does not mean that something is true or untrue, it does increase the probability that it is true.
