Theos-Talk Archives (January 1995 Message tl00063)

Nicholas,

I think you're right.  Thanks very much for the reference.
Someone from Wheaton gave me a reference to a Maeterlinck essay
that talks about theosophy....trying to track it down.

Our of town for a few days.

See you later.
Best,
William
