Daniel,
As I understand it, you are on the editorial board. Did the letters
contained in the book entitled LETTERS OF HPB pass some muster regarding
their authenticity? As a member of the editorial board did you, in that
official capacity, conclude that this letter was authentic? It is not an
issue of censorship. It is your stated position that a person should look
at both sides of every issue before making a decision? If so may we rightly
assume that before you made the decision to have your character, name, and
reputation associated with letters published as LETTERS OF HPB that you did
in fact look at both sides of the issue and make a decision that these
letters were authentic?

Subject: Theos-World Is this a forged Blavatsky letter and should it have
been excluded from Vol I?
In an 1877 letter to her aunt, Madame Blavatsky wrote:
"Sahib [Master Morya] has been known to me for
more than twenty-five years; he came to London....
Since then I have not seen him, until I received
a letter from him...three years ago..."
[See Letters of H.P. Blavatsky, Vol. I, starting at
the bottom of p. 352 and continuing on p. 353.]
This statement by Blavatsky seems to contradict
what Blavatsky writes elsewhere about her relationship
with the Master Morya.
Therefore is this 1877 letter a "forgery" and should
it have ALSO been excluded from Volume I of
HPB's Collected Letters????
