Theos-Talk Archives (June 2004 Message tt00102)

Hi,

There is an autobiography, if memory serves me correctly. You can
probably find it at your nearest (large) theosophical library. Or you
can buy it at the publishers: the Theosophical History Centre, I
think. [I was right, see: http://www.theohistory.org/occas.html ]
