Anand Gholap writes that there is:

------------------------------------------------------------
...a strong possibility that many of the Mahatma Letters were not 
having thoughts of the Masters, but were carrying thoughts of 
Blavatsky PRETENDING to be thoughts of Masters.

In 1884, C.W. Leadbeater writes of a letter he received from Master 
K.H.  He narrates how it was received as follows:

-----------------------------------------------------------
It was with difficulty that I induced her to read the letter, as she 
[H.P. Blavatsky] said very decidedly that such communications were 
intended only for the recipient. I was obliged to insist, however, 
and at last she read it and asked me what I wished to say in reply. I 
answered... and asked her how this information could be conveyed to 
the Master. She replied that He knew it already, referring of course 
to the exceedingly close relation in which she stood with Him, so 
that whatever was within her consciousness was also within His when 
He wished it. 

She then told me to wait by her, and not to leave her on any account. 
She adhered absolutely to this condition, even making me accompany 
her into her bedroom when she went to put on her hat and, when a cab 
was required, declining me to allow me to leave the room and go to 
the door to whistle for it. I could not at all understand the purpose 
of this at the time, but afterwards I realized that she wished me to 
be able to say that she had never been out of my sight for a moment, 
between the time when she read my letter from the Master and my 
receipt of the reply to it. I remember as vividly as if it were 
yesterday how I rode with her in that hansom cab, and the bashful 
embarrassment that I felt, caused partly by the honour of doing so, 
and partly by my fear that I must be inconveniencing her horribly, 
for I was crushed sideways into a tiny corner of the seat, while her 
huge bulk weighed down her side of the vehicle, so that the springs 
were grinding all through the journey. Mr. and Mrs. Cooper-Oakley 
were to accompany her on the voyage to India, and it was to their 
house that I went with her very late that night - in fact, I believe 
it was after midnight, so I really ought to say very early the next 
morning.

Even at that hour a number of devoted friends were gathered in Mrs. 
Oakley's drawing-room to say farewell to Madame Blavatsky, who seated 
herself in an easy-chair by the fireside. She was talking brilliantly 
to those who were present, and rolling one of her eternal cigarettes, 
when suddenly her right hand was jerked out towards the fire in a 
very peculiar fashion, and lay palm upwards. She looked down at it in 
surprise, as I did myself, for I was standing close to her, leaning 
with an elbow on the mantelpiece: and several of us saw quite clearly 
a sort of whitish mist form in the palm of her hand and then condense 
into a piece of folded paper, which she at once handed to me, 
saying: "There is your answer." Every one in the room crowded round, 
of course, but she sent me away outside to read it, saying that I 
must not let anyone see its contents. It was a very short note....
----------------------------------------------------------

The K.H. letter to C.W. Leadbeater reads:

-----------------------------------------------------------
Since your intuition led you in the right direction and made you 
understand that it was my desire you should go to Adyar immediately - 
I may say more. The sooner you go the better. Do not lose one day 
more than you can help. Sail on the 5th if possible. Join Upasika at 
Alexandria. Let no one know you are going and may the blessing of our 
Lord, and my poor blessing shield you from every evil in your new 
life. Greeting to you my new chela. 

K. H.

Show my notes to no one.
-----------------------------------------------------------

Note that this KH letter was received through H.P. Blavatsky.

Now reconsider what Anand is alleging:

------------------------------------------------------------
...a strong possibility that many of the Mahatma Letters were not 
having thoughts of the Masters, but were carrying thoughts of 
Blavatsky PRETENDING to be thoughts of Masters.
------------------------------------------------------------

So isn't it possible that this letter to C.W. Leadbeater only 
carried "thoughts of Blavatsky who was just PRETENDING be be thoughts 
of Masters."?????

In other words, the letter and the contents of the letter were not 
from KH but from Blavatsky "PRETENDING to be thoughts of Masters"....

But I would also remind readers of what Anand Gholap on Sept. 18, 
2008 termed as the "SR-CWL theory" [Subba Row- C.W. Leadbeater 
theory] about Madame Blavatsky.

According to this "SR-CWL theory", the real HPB left the Blavatsky 
body in 1865.  After that, 

"All that remained...was the shell of the body occasionally
inhabited by a failed adept, two inexperienced chelas and a completely
ignorant bad tempered old tibetan woman." summary provided by Murthy.

So could this KH letter to C.W. Leadbeater have actually been NOT 
FROM MASTER KH but from the "completely ignorant bad tempered old 
tibetan woman" or the two inexperienced chelas or....?

If one letter was NOT from the real KH, then how can anyone be sure 
that any of the letters were from the real KH?

The above material is offered as food for thought.  And I hope that 
Anand will take the time and effort to address these issues which 
should not be passed over in silence or summarily dismissed with a 
few words.
