["This 'diary', comprising 152 pages, was found by me in the private desk of Wm. Q. Judge, on March 24th, 1896, and taken possession of by me in my capacity of Executor of his Will. Page 1, contains 2 written paragraphs; page 2, two paragraphs; page 3, is fully covered with writing; page 4, is entirely blank; page 5, is fully written over; pages 6, 7, and 8, are fully written over; page 9 has four lines, written on it, continuing the context of the preceding page; the rest of the page is blank; pages 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, are blank; pages 15, 16, 17, 18, are completely written over. All the written material in the book is done in Mr. Judge's own handwriting, with the exception of a typewritten insertion pasted in on the upper half of page 16, covering nearly one-half of the page, and bearing the date of December 5th, 1894, and Mr. Judge's signature. Some of the entries in the book are written in red, others in black ink. With the exception of the above enumerated pages all the rest of the pages in the book are blank. No other 'diary' or diaries were found by me among Mr. Judge's effects at 144 Madison Avenue, New York City. No one had access to Mr. Judge's private papers which he kept securely locked up in his desk and two cabinets in his private office. Mrs. Judge handed me the keys to these on the day when we together opened Mr. Judge's safety-deposit-box at his Bank, where we found his Will which appointed me Executor of the same. Subscribed and sworn to before me this 5th day of July 1932 at Santa Monica, California. (Signed) E. A. Neresheimer. (Notary Seal) Margaret Harbes Notary Public in and for the County of Los Angeles, State of California. My commission expires July 2, 1933."]

	a force long held back and injurious has been liberated. It may hurt men. I should let members know of this using his knowledge to explain. It has touched the earth once before.
Nov. 2	Do not yet give out the right doct. of ........ It is not time.
	The circ. and order will be as much as they can digest. It must be hurried for reasons you will see later.
	In 15 years there will be great changes here & the TS doctrines will subtly affect the people. After another US prest. has been assassinated.
	gave the circle thus "small centre circle with star, 7 small circles with stars around, in a circle all. The centre is Masters light in the Westn. body, the others are the possible bodies."

	AB shown by . before me nude. Stomach & right side black, eyes blindfold, heart round and white, 2 lights over head black and white fighting. Suspended in mid air. The feeling of one day one way & another another due to this black and white fighting it causes depression & slow circulation. You recognize her work, are pained for her state & the damage to TS. If love in TS ask for her. She should meditate not by the rules given her by dark man. Before 3 years you & she will touch hands again as when H.P.B. was alive. Then the real work of her life will begin. That is if she lets the Higher rule. But if she follows ambition, the rules given by the dark man & her fancied sense of injustice rule, she will not have this opportunity.
Nov. 9	AB again. See shthand notes.
Nov. 15	Use about Dec. 3 to 8th
	B She will probably write you as a martyr her idea being to make an inner circle leaving to [a symbol] the outer. The best way is to tell the ES this or that you are told so by me as a danger to be feared but that the giving out of this will have the effect probably of making her give it up and this is the warning. C will

	After this is settled you must write a letter to TS on the danger of having or expecting constant comm. with under present or similar conditions. Atmosphere of the world is now disturbed and so is the TS. FTS are made to suspect. Trust must be aroused. Few are prepared to hear from . Each cannot have a special benediction from .

When all is over they will see back of all this. Windows of the cause are opened to by distrust of leaders and workers.

Nov. 26	The letter to WG should be printed in New York paper. They were aiming before this to break you up in England. There will be a division in England, part with you and part other. Mead is on the fence. There will be bright spots

	Use all time & efforts until July in making TS strong with constructive work.
	July convention will be a lively one. Much will be cut and dried by enemies to corner you and then drive you out.
Nov. 26	Leave for London early in May. If you go later all will be lost and confused. Do not let them know you are going so early. Make any sacrifice to go thus early. Work among the people there & get your true position before convention meets. Only tell your center of your coming. No one else. Public enemies are weak in comparison to your private ones. Look out for anonymous and bogus

	Lest the weak ones be made to think you are working for self show a conciliatory way at convention.
	Remember TS will suffer later if B is not put under foot displaced it might otherwise be destroyed in 1896. Stoop to conquer outwardly this will put you in good light. As time approaches you will be directed. In August 95 the battle of your life to hold your own. After that many marked changes.

Dec. 5	J. gave J.W. Ganson reply as follows about his "fake message."
	(see Page 16)

	[Page 16]
	I have examined the alleged phenomenally received message signed Mahaghorha by Mr. J.W. Ganson at the Harvard Club, as he says, which message contained, when handed to me by Mr. Ganson on Dec. 3rd at 12.30 P.M., a half of a South Indian MSS with a leaf or flower passed through the hole of said MSS. And I give it as my opinion after examining and testing the same, that it is a hoax gotten up with great care. The palm leaf MSS has recently been broken off from the main leaf. Three persons were involved in this matter in my opinion. A good deal of laughter was had by two of them while making it up. I will not name or accuse anyone. The message is not from or by any of the Masters of their Chelas. But the state of thought into which the persons went in order to write the words of the message was not bad and the statements of ideas therein are not bad either - to that extent it is good - otherwise a hoax. Mr. Ganson had better keep it - in a glass case. There is a peculiar and definite odor which comes with all genuine objective messages from the Masters which cannot be imitated by any chemist, but which when once identified cannot be mistaken. Numerous other results and "belongings" which always belong to a genuine message do not hold to or obtain with this one. NY. Dec. 5 94 [signed] William Q. Judge. [Compare the above with Judge's article "Bogus Mahatma Letters" which appeared in The Path, Jan. 1895, pp. 302-303.]

	against me. Several thought Chakry was "the Master" for her. (d) Asked SV if he thought in other words C had magnetized her & he replied yes it amounted to that. (e) She had 20 minutes to spare at Allahabad on going but all that time walked up and down with C who let no one speak to her & said "Mrs. B is tired" though many were there to say good-bye. (f) She met a big pundit, gave him some talk on vedanta, he contradicted her & she then drew herself up saying "I am here to teach & not to learn."
ES.	Yesterday Dec. 10 decided to dissolve London [E.S.T.] council & make a new one of 5 Arch, Coryn, Cleather, Coryn & Dick or Pryse.
