Was Bailey a E.S. member?
It seems to me that it's safer to speak about the common source than 
about direct copying.
For example, the colors of the rays in CWL and AAB books differ what 
is explainable when the similar teaching is given by the different 
exponents with different approaches and personal auras but improbable 
in case of derivative works.
