Theos-Talk Archives (November 2006 Message tt00001)

Friends, 

I forgot to mention that around 1975 and for a few years after that HPB was much more read in the Adyar TS.  I saw that examioning the collection of "The Theosophist". 

Also, the publication of the "Collected Writings" well into the 1980s helped a lot. 


Carlos.
