Introductory Note

These Blavatsky letters were first published in the pages of Theosophical History (see issues for April 1994 through January 1997). For that publication, the letters were transcribed by Michael Gomes who also added valuable historical background notes.

This new online edition uses the transcription of the letters independently done by Dara Eklund and Nicholas Weeks.

Blavatsky Archives Online is planning to publish in the future an indepth commentary on the letters. In the meantime, we encourage interested readers to consult Mr. Gomes' historical notes. (See the TH web page on back issues. Also email the TH Editor James Santucci for more ordering information.)

Our thanks to Dara Eklund and Nicholas Weeks for transcribing these fascinating letters of H.P. Blavatsky and also providing us with electronic copies. We also appreciate the kind assistance of Timothy Driscoll, Curator of Manuscripts and Archives, Andover-Harvard Theological Library.
