Anand,
all under the status of "corresponding secretary of the Theosophical Society". Misunderstanding someone else's point is the easiest thing to do, I imagine, though that she cleared any misunderstanding up with the author.

HPB writes " ........Let S.R. do what he likes. I give him carte
blanche. I trust in his wisdom far more than in mine, for I may have
misunderstood in many a point both Master and the Old G. (other Adept).
They give me facts only and rarely dictate in succession. I am no maker
of books you know it........"
It not only tells wisdom of SR but also tells that she did
misunderstand things which went into her writing.
Later when she sent draft of Secrete Doctrine to Subba Raw for
correcting mistakes. He went through it and told her that if he was to
correct it he would have to write whole book again.
