Note by Sinnett

"I saw KH in astral form on the night of 19th of October, 1880 -
waking up for a moment but immediately afterwards being rendered
unconcscious again (in the body) and conscious out of the body in
the adjacent dressing -room where I saw another of the Brothers
afterwards identified with one called 'Serapis' by Olcott, - 'the
youngest of the chohans.'

"The note about the vision came the following morning, and during
that day, the 20th, we went for a picnic to Prospect Hill, when
the 'pillow incident' occurred."

"My Good 'Brother'

"In dreams and visions at least, when rightly interpreted there
can hardly be an 'element of doubt.' ....  I hope to prove to you
my presence near you last night by something I took away with me.
Your lady will receive it back on the Hill.  I keep no pink paper
to write upon, but I trust modest white will do as well for what
I have to say" Koot' Hoomi Lal Sing

#3b "My 'Dear Brother'

"This brooch no.  2- is placed in this very strange place simply
to show to you how very easily a real phenomenon is produced and
how stilll easier it is to suspect its genuinenes..  Make of it
what you like even to classing me with confederates.

"The difficulty you spoke of last night with respect to their
interchange of our letters I will try to remove.  One of our
pupils will shortly visit Lahore and the N.W.P.  and an address
will be sent to you which you can always use; unless, indeed, you
really would prefer corresponding through - pillows.  Please to
remark that the present is not dated from a 'Lodge' but from a
Kashmir valley.

Yours, more than ever
Koot' HoomI Lal Singh

"A few words more: why should you have felt disappointed at not
receiving a direct reply to your last note? It was received in my
room about half a minute after the currents for the production of
the pillow-dak had been set ready and in full play.  And- unless
I had assured you that a man of your disposition need have lttle
fear of being 'fooled' - there was no necessity for an answer.
One favour I will certainly ask of you, and that is, that now
that you- the only party to whom anything was ever promised - are
satisfied that you should endeavour to disabuse the mind of the
amorous Major* and show him his great folly and injustice.

Yours faithfully,
Koot' Hoomi Lal Singh

*Major Philip Henderson...  was present on the occasion of the
cup & saucer phenomenon & helped dig them out of the ground.  He
joined the TS ..  that day, his membership certificate being
produced phenomenally on the spot.  However, the next day he
became suspicious & resigned, thereafter joining hPB's critics."

"Would you wish the pillow phenomenon described in the paper? I
will gladly follow your advice"

"It certainly would be the best thing to do, and I personally
would feel sincerely thankful to you on account of our much
ill-used friend.  You are at liberty to mention my first name if
it will in the least help you." Koot Hoomi Lal Sing
