	a real change, and in the right direction, has come over you, though even to yourself that change is imperceptible. And — the chiefs know it too. But, say they — motives are vapours, as attenuated as the atmospheric moisture: and, as the latter develops its dynamic energy for man's use only when concentrated and applied as steam or hydraulic power, so the practical value of good motives is best seen when they take the form of deeds. . . . "Yes, we will wait and see" — they say. And now I have told you as much as I ever had the right to say. You have more than once already helped this [[Theosophical Society\|Society]], even though you did not care for it yourself, and these deeds are upon record. Nay — they are even more meritorious in you, than they would ~~[be]~~ in anyone else, considering your well grounded ideas of that poor organization at present. And, you have thereby won a friend — one, far higher and better than myself — and one who will in future help me to defend your cause, able as he is, to do it far more effectually than I can, for he belongs to the "foreign Section."		a real change, and in the right direction, has come over you, though even to yourself that change is imperceptible.

But despond not, for it is all but a matter of time. The world was not evolved between two monsoons, my good friend. If you had come to me as a boy of 17, before the world had put its heavy hand upon you, your task would have been twenty-fold easier. And now, we must take you, and you must see yourself as you are, not as the ideal human image which our emotional fancy always projects for us upon the glass. Be patient, friend and brother; and I must repeat again — be our helpful co-worker; but in your own sphere, and according to your ripest judgment. Since our venerable Hobilgan has decreed in his wise prevision that I had no right to encourage you to enter a path, where you would have to roll the stone of [[Sisyphus]], held back as you surely would be by your previous and most sacred duties — we really must wait. I know your motives are sincere and true, and that		too much as you are.

			The original is in the British Library, Folio 1. [[George Linton]] and [[Virginia Hanson]] described the letter in this way:
			<blockquote>
			In blue ink on both sides of two sheets of regular-sized white paper, signed simply "K.H." Most of the letters after this date are signed in this fashion. The "H" in this letter is, however, formed differently from the later ones.<ref>George E. Linton and Virginia Hanson, eds., ''Readers Guide to The Mahatma Letters to A. P. Sinnett'' (Adyar, Chennai, India: Theosophical Publishing House, 1972), 52.</ref>
