Theos-Talk Archives (February 2006 Message tt00536)

Dear Kons,

I posed this question some years ago to the Pasadena Theosophical 
Society's (i.e. the Point Loma Judge organization) archivist.  The 
disputed letters in question, if they still exist, have to be in the 
possession of the Adyar TS in India.  He assured me that they are not in 
the Pasadena archives. 
Not all Mahatma Letters (London or otherwise) are precipitated.  My wife 
and I spent several days in the British Museum reading room going over 
the volumes of letters they have there.  Only a very small minority of 
the letters exhibit the characteristic lines that Barborka described.  
The majority of the letters are written either in ink with a fountain 
pen, or in a pencil or crayon.  They are quite ordinary looking.  Their 
physical appearance suggests that they could have been written by anyone. 
Best
Jerry
