Context and background
Mr. Jinarajadasa provided this background information:
Received probably on September 28, 1881, when he saw a materialization of his Master at Crow’s Nest.
“Ramaswami” was his ordinary name, Iyer being the Brahminical caste ending. He had a secret name given to him at his “thread ceremony” which was Rama Bhadra, and it is by this sacred name he is here addressed as Rama B.[2]
This date, September 28, must be incorrect, since he gave more details about this letter in his description of Letter 34:
Received on December 28, 1881, at Crow’s Nest, Bombay, the Master Himself then appearing. There was also then a letter to S. Ramaswamier, Letter 48 in this volume. This is the last letter of Master M. which is not in His later and better known script.[3]
Physical description of letter
Mr. Jinarajadasa wrote of the Ramaswamier letters:
I do not know where the original letters are now. He died in 1893, devoted as ever to his Master and the T.S..[4]
Publication history
Mr. Jinarajadasa wrote of the Ramaswamier letters:
In December, 1894, a son of his published the letters, with a facsimile of one of them, in an attack on the T.S. , which bore the title, "Isis Further Unveiled." I reprint the letters from this pamphlet.[5]
