Theos-Talk Archives (February 2004 Message tt00227)

I am not the right person in far Europe for that details. I was told that
the whole quarrel with publishing the HPB letters was up to John Algeo and
that he is responsible for the troubles. I was told from one of the members
of the Cooper working group which prepared the publication, that it was John
Algeo personally who closed the working group and prevented the publication
of the first two vol. which were ready for publication.
I was told from one of this members that John Algeo always said that some
remarks of HPB in this letters are too hard for publication, f.e. her harsh
criticism of priesthoods.
The contract for publication was between John Cooper and TPH.
For more details it seems best you ask Gregory Tillett. Perhaps he will show
the contract with TPH.

John Algeo personally, or Theosophical Publishing House? And, if it is
John Algeo personally, why was it given to him and not the Theosophical
Publishing House?
