To Carl Ek:  An impartial - not imaginary - 
sketch of Crosbie's life

Carl,

Thanks for reproducing the article on Crosbie from The Theosophical 
Forum, July 1936, pp. 76-77.

I beleive this was the official magazine of the Point Loma 
Theosophical Society while G. de Purucker was leader.

I quote just a small but significant excerpt from this article:

============================================================
Is it just to Robert Crosbie to ignore these Statements of historic
fact, or to suppress them? They help to complete the true picture
and must be included in an irrpartial [impartial] - not imaginary - 
sketch of Crosbie's life.

Let it be remembered that Robert Crosbie after the death of W. Q.
Judge, publicly and privately expressed his devotion to and
supported Katherine Tingley, and this continued until 1904, when for
good cause he was requested to leave Headquarters.
==========================================================

Just as we want an impartial - no imaginary - sketch of C.W. 
Leadbeater's life, we also want an impartial sketch of Robert 
Crosbie's life.

For the life of me, I can't undertstand why Mr. Aveline is so much 
against an imaginary biographical account of Leadbeater and wants a 
impartial, accurate account of CWL and yet apparently at the same 
time shows no interest in having an impartial and accurate 
biographical account of Crosbie's life.

I would think that you and I share a desire to have impartial 
accounts of both men's lives and not the imaginary ones that some of 
their followers have written and published!!
