Theos-Talk Archives (March 2006 Message tt00725)

Get a copy of "The Theosophical Movement" or search for the internet 
address for "The Theosophical Movement."  The link was posted on 
this site last week.  

When "The Theosophical Movement" was first published as a series in 
the "Theosophy" magazine in the 1920's, many threats to sue were 
made.  No suit was ever filed because the evidence was well 
documented.  

"The Theosophical Movement" cites much HPB correspondence you can 
look up at your leisure.

Best regards,
Krsanna
