New York, Jan. 4, 1895


Dr. A. Keightley
(for Councillors etc.)

Comrades

Enclosed is an exact transcript of what HPB said to me
Jany 3, prematurely ended by a visitor - as usual & as
results from European continual nagging at me. It is
word for word. More will be said later. You can let
all worthy & devoted loyalists read this - It may be
read in a proper group. Copies not to be made. This
is to be kept with Council papers.

Fraternally

WILLIAM Q. JUDGE

Go to no extremes in thought or act hereupon.

[The accompanying document ("an exact transcript of
what HPB said") is as follows:]

HPB. Jany 3 1895

Yours is not a (bootless) or fruitless) errand. You
have nobly sustained our cause in the crisis. Be
encouraged. Well did Master know the staunch fearless
attributes of your soul when he directed me to make
you leader of our craft in America. As the centre of
our force is attacked the more does our light work for
the right. Victory is ours. All will end for the good
of all. Mistakes have been made but you have not gone
far from the lines laid down by Master. My desire is
for you to be careful about sending out Instructions
to the E.S. for treacherous and unworthy persons are
within the gates, & all new ideas will be appropriated
by the other side after x x x x. The forces are out
and annihilation is the only thing that can interfere.

Let me tell you some of the things I have learned
since I absented myself from the outer world. Many of
the problems of life that should have been solved if
we had been more together have come up before me & I
have learned much. I am, next to the American work,
interested in Spain. Ireland can take care of itself.
In the pine woods I have found a lodge which I knew
something about before I went away. There, seven
chelas & the light they show that some day will be
better known, I will describe to you at our next
meeting. There is much connected with it that can be
used for irradiating forces in this country for there
is a subtle connection. Be sure that at our next
meeting it is not forgotten x x x x Slowly the light
from this Lodge is being thrown over Spain & I see
that from the old corpse of bigotry superstition &
credulity will be reared a temple of light which will
unite its forces with that of America & Ireland & from
these three points I know that humanity will be saved.
x x x

This battle of light & darkness in our midst seems but
small (little) when I view the work before us x x x
and the ends and prospects of our work shall stem the
tide of this cruel & unworthy persecution. Under all
work shall stem the tide of this cruel & unworthy
persecution. Under all of it & over it all the Masters
hand; be sure that all
is well for thee. x x x x.

The light mentioned in Spain is of seven sides & a
purple & yellow light. On each of the seven sides is a
star. This represents the Lodge of Spain. Connect
yourself with it as you will be directed. x x x

I will not permit you to resign nor will I permit you
to submit to further investigation. Form your plans
for the American work. Keep all your lines perfect
with sustaining points & leave the rest to us. This is
to your questions of last night. x x x x x

I will not touch on minor points. They will take care
of themselves. Master is not after minor points. Let
us turn our eyes to the American future of Theosophy.
