Yes. I have a photographic copy of all of the Mahatmic
correspondence in the British Museum--published and unpublished.
So I can easily determine handwriting differences, but not paper.
That would require going back to the originals.  But even that is
not easy, because the originals are now bound in book form and
each letter, or page of letters are encased in a very thin resin,
so you can no longer really handle the letters themselves.
Anyway, you said that you detected stylistic changes and shift in
tone.  The handwriting of the letters themselves are
inconsistent.  It occurred to me that these inconsistencies might
coincide with the inconsistencies that you detected in style.

I wonder if there is any information on the relationship between
Bailey and Cosgrove: Where they met and when; where he studied
with her; If Cosgrove had any former association with the TS,
during what period and where.  It seems that there are several
individuals who have started with Bailey and started their own
schools.  I'm thinking of Baker in England and Saraydarian in
Sedona at the moment.  Seems that this is a whole area that needs
further exploration.
