I also have never seen any statement or comment by
Wood regarding the allegations. But while at Adyar, I
did come accross an old pamphlet entitled "Of Interest
to T.S. Members" which was issued by a group of
American theosophists who called themselves
"Lightbearers", containing questions and answers at a
TS members meeting in Washington, D.C., when Ernest Wood was
lecturing there, probably in the early 1920s (the date
is not mentioned, but Wood said at that meeting that
he had not seen Leadbeater after he had gone to
Australia in 1914).
