Theos-Talk Archives (May 2006 Message tt00625)

Daniel,


In the "Collected Writings" , Boris published texts which ALSO were in the Besant's 3rd volume. 

But most likely he got them from their originals. 

He did not depend on Besant's edition. 

He had access to Adyar's Archives. He did not have to copy from Besant's false edition. 

I hope this is clear now. 

Regards, Carlos.
