Sorry-- I was replying to something of JHE's on theos-l, but
belatedly admit that it would have been better to post it to
roots.

Nothing, in the sense that it could be proven that they were
written through precipitation or telepathy. A lot, in the
sense that it can be determined that they contain teachings
that do not appear in HPB's other writings and therefore imply
the existence of some information source other than her own
mind.
 Plus if you are saying that you

Well, I'm not comparing them because they're not available.
But I would look at them in comparison to the MLs in print to
evaluate whether they seemed to be coming from the same
source. With CWL's revelations, and Bailey's, I conclude "I
don't think so." But with WQJ's there's too little basis on
which to judge.
