Theos-Talk Archives (March 2004 Message tt00011)

The Boris de Zirkoff collection of HPB's letters
is housed at the Theosophical Society, Wheaton,
Illinois, USA.

When I was at Wheaton, I carefully went through
the notebooks of HPB's letters that Boris had
collected. These were typescripts of HPB's letters
that Boris had transcribed.

Yes, I have seen in many cases the originals of 
HPB's letters or microfilm/photo copies of her
letters.

Again I repeat:

In the newly published volume I from Wheaton of
HPB's Collected Letters, you will see every single
letter from the BdZ collection for the years covered
in that volume (1861-1879).

In other words, Dr. Algeo has published in the 
Vol. I collection now available from TPH, Wheaton, Illinois,
every HPB letter(1861-Jan. 14, 1879)in the BdeZ collection .

I hope this helps.

Daniel
