We cannot know that for sure, as he says in the Autobiography that not all the letters survived. As he writes, the initial information was received from the Masters and was later extended by the clairvoyants. (If he was in position to contact Masters via mediums, there would be no need for him to resort to other sources.)

I think that most of them, though they are not very well written, from foreigner's point of view. The more the writer is valued in England for his brilliant English language, the less readable he is for us.
(So we couldn't get an adequate translation of "Esoteric Buddhism" for more than 100 years.) "Growth of the Soul" seems interesting, though I've just glanced it and haven't began reading yet.
