of all our Tchutuktus who know anything of our mutual relations. I would never have mentioned this fact, but that I am in a position to demonstrate to you by enclosing here a letter from Subba Row to myself — full of excuses, and another to H.P.B. — as full of sincere truths, — since they are both chelas, or rather disciples. I hope I am not committing an indiscretion — in the Western sense. You will please return to me both after reading them and noting what they say.

Meanwhile, I must close, reiterating to you once more the assurance of my sincere regards and esteem.

Yours

K. H.

Believe me you are too severe upon and — unjust to Fern.
