Hi Daniel,

Thanks for your reply. The extra details are:

1)The Lamp, May 15 1900, in the Editorial Notes; 

"The Eclectic Theosophical Society of New York announce as a result of 
a canvass of the votes of the members the election of Mr. John M.
Pryse as President; Mr. J.H. Connelly, Vice-President; Miss E.A.
Berry, Treasurer; and as Directors the President, Mrs. Julia H.
Coffin, Mr. Arthur Firth, Miss E.A. Berry, Mr. Frederick W. Flint,
Mrs. Rena T. Keith, and Mrs. Vittoria Cremers."

2)The Lamp, June 15, 1900, again in Editorial Notes;

"The Brooklyn Branch of the Eclectic T.S., meets every Sunday
afternoon at 3 o'clock at 130 Underhill Avenue."

I am trying to establish the lineage and time period of this society,
find further details on it's members and to determine, if any,
contacts with the English branches.

Any help would be appreciated.

Regards
Spiro
