given as "Gjual-Khool"

Djual Khool was used in a number of instances by Mahatma K.H. as intermediary to precipitate some of the letters he sent to Mr. Sinnett. Besides this, he wrote a few letters and notes and signed them with his name.

The first letter he wrote to Mr. Sinnett was after the Mahatma K.H. finished his long retreat. The letter was received in January, 1882, and was published as Mahatma Letter No. 37 (Barker no. 37). He also wrote a footnote (signed as Gjual-Khool) to an article to be published by William Oxley in The Theosophist. A copy of the footnote was sent by H. P. Blavatsky to Mr. Sinnett for him to make corrections before publishing it. It was received by him on August 1882. The footnote is currently published as Mahatma Letter No. 83 in the chronological edition of the The Mahatma Letters to A. P. Sinnett (Barker no. 125).
