Letters and Prothagoras' Style

Daniel,
Thanks.
Of course, one thing is the copy of a letter from a master, made by people during the time when the letters were received and from the original.
It is entirely different to "cook" a letter now from various quotes here and there, and then ascribe the result to any "Mahatma".
The second choice looks like the Prothagoras/John Algeo style.
In time: John Algeo lives in Athens (USA), as Prothagoras lived in Athens (Greece).
Each century has the Prothagoras it deserves.
Regards, Carlos.
