	Thanks for your feedback.

	Is this not the kind of situation that Olcott being a smart lawyer and
man with a lot of practical experience and common sense and one who
cared so much for the TS he helped to build, feared that may happen down
the road, when the ES was getting formed?

	I would welcome anyone on theos-l, who can convince all of us here that
the above reading of the situation is *NOT* true. We have, it appears, a
*emperor* has no clothes situation!!!

	Your mileage and direction may vary, but would like to know.

PS: Again as I revisited the 1900 letter from Master KH, his comment to
AB about popery and unnecessary secrecy seems to fit in, IMHO.
