Sylvia Cranston: "...BLAVATSKY WROTE....."
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

First, let me quote a recent pronouncement given to us on Theos-Talk.

THE PRONOUNCEMENT
===========================================================
No one, not even D. Caldwell or J. Algeo, has had the nerve to say
that those "obviously spurious letters" (Radha's words about them) are
legitimate.

Historians and Scholars have no business in publicizing well-known
lies. Only this kind of people.
==========================================================

Now turn to page 173 of the latest edition of HPB: THE EXTRAORDINARY 
LIFE AND INFLUENCE OF HELENA BLAVATSKY. Sylvia Cranston (a longtime 
ULT associate) tells her readers:

"In a letter to Alexander Aksakov in St. Petersburg, Russia, written 
in April 1875...BLAVATSKY WROTE...." caps added.

This is followed by an excerpt of Blavatsky's letter quoted from A 
MODERN PRIESTESS OF ISIS.

SUMMARY: Sylvia Cranston quotes from one of these supposed false
letters to Aksakov in her HPB biography. She quotes as though the
words in the letter are HPB's. 

And Cranston does not warn the reader to beware of this letter or 
other letters from HPB to Aksakov as being spurious HPB.
