Theos-Talk Archives (September 2004 Message tt00197)

Dear Dallas,

I already gave you the reference when you wrote to me asking for it. 
I was mentioning the letter that Judge claimed to have received in a 
kind of medium communication with Blavatsky. I have sent you the web 
site address where a copy of Judge's letters is online. Which other 
references you would like to have? The critics that Blavatsky made 
about mediunism?
