Vera Vladimirovna de Zhelihovsky was the daughter of Madame Vera Petrovna de Zhelihovsky and niece of H. P. Blavatsky.
In August, 1888, she married Sanskrit scholar Charles Johnston. The ceremony took place at Mme. Blavatsky's home, 17, Lansdowne Road, London. Col. Olcott, visiting London at the time, represented Vera's mother and the rest of the family at the civil marriage at the registrar's office.[1]
At the request of William Quan Judge, she translated her aunt's Russian-language letters to her family so that they could be published in The Path from December, 1894 to December, 1895.[2]
The Johnstons became members of the Theosophical Society in America, (later renamed Theosophical Society) headed by Ernest Temple Hargrove.
