Tell ——— that spiritual faculties demand instruction and regulation even more than our mental gifts, for intellect imbibes wrong far more easily than good. ——— ought to bear always in mind these lines of Tennyson:
But to remember at the same time the extreme danger of the self-will when it is not regulated by the three above mentioned qualities, especially in a question of spiritual development. Let her obtain self-control over self-will and a too great sensibility, and thus she may become the most perfect as the strongest pillar of the Theosophical Society.

Context and background
Mr. Jinarajadasa provided these notes about this series of letters numbered 30-41. They were clearly written before Letters 4 to 20, which have reference to Mrs Holloway:
Miss Mary K. Neff was well known for her record of service to various Indian schools, and especially for her work during two years at the Theosophical Headquarters, at Adyar, indexing all the letters and documents which are in the Archives of the Society. She had dedicated herself especially to the history of H.P.B.'s movements and had published Personal Memories of H.P. Blavatsky.
She found in a magazine The World published in New York, articles by Mrs Langford in the issues of May and June 1912. These contain certain instructions received by her from the Master K.H... I publish these letters, as they contain much valuable instructions, for all who are preparing to tread the path to the Masters.[2]
