Patience Sinnett
Patience Edensor Sinnett was married to A. P. Sinnett. H. P. Blavatsky and Mahatmas Koot Hoomi and Morya all expressed great affection for her, and trust in her good judgement and discretion. The Sinnetts had a son Dennie whose health was fragile.
She was present with Mme. Blavatsky and other at the studio of young German artist Hermann Schmiechen when he attempted to paint portraits of the Mahatmas Morya and Koot Hoomi.[1]
Pink note
On September 29, 1880, Mrs. Patience Sinnett, Mme. Blavatsky and Col. Olcott go for a picnic to the top of Prospect Hill at Simla. There, Mrs. Sinnett gets a note on pink paper from one of the Masters. It was left in a tree and read: "I believe I was asked to leave a note here. What can I do for you?" The original of this "pink slip" is in the British Museum.
