I have been told by a non-Indian friend and long time resident at 
Adyar, who is not a member of any Committee, that Elvira Carbonell 
took up residence in Pondicherry after she left Adyar. According to 
the same friend, Elvira also told some Adyar residents that she had 
decided to stay in India and not to go back to the US because she was 
convinced John Algeo would win the election.

More recently an Indian member, from Bombay, wrote to me and said 
that he had received an envelope from Pondicherry, but without the 
sender's address on it. When he opened it, he discovered that it 
contained a copy of Betty Bland's letter of 19 March 2008 on one side 
of the paper, and on the other Radha Burnier's letter of 12 March 
2008. I have since been informed that this letter has been received 
by a number of TS members in different parts of India. The envelopes 
did not carry the sender's address on them, but had been posted in 
Pondicherry.

As far as I know, there is no TS Lodge in Pondicherry. The identity 
of the sender of such letters remains unknown. However, whoever sent 
these letters had access to addresses of a number of TS members in 
India.

I received a copy of Betty Bland's email message referred to above, 
which contained the text of Radha Burnier's letter to the General 
Council members (which was sent by air mail), on 21 March 2008 from a 
friend in New Zealand. I reproduce below the opening information in 
Betty's email:
