			The “Letter on Theosophy” to which these two notes are attached is addressed to [[Stainton Moses]] in London, intended for publication in the magazine Light, a journal of the Spiritualists in that city. Sinnett had sent the proofs to the Mahatma K.H. for his comments.

			In the proof of the second of the letters meant for Stainton Moses, Sinnett makes the statement: "I find it difficult to explain a condition of things under examination . . . for want of a previous acquaintance on your part with the occult doctrine . . . regarding the mode in which Nature rewards and punishes her children for their acts in this life. . ." At the point of mention that Moses does not have a "previous acquaintance" with the occult doctrine, Sinnett has inserted a parenthetical comment: "(the actual state of the facts, that is to say, as known to the adepts and affirmed by them with as much confidence as the motions of the planets are affirmed by astronomers to be what they are). . ." In the marginal comment by the Mahatma K.H., following the words "as known to the adepts. . ." he has added the words which open this Letter No. 71. "Yes, verily known and as confidently affirmed by the adepts from whom. . ."

			Sinnett wrote further in his letter: "Now the victims of accident sometimes though rarely, and those of suicide, can communicate with us through mediums, and that which communicates is the real entity of the once living man, barring a few exceptional circumstances, of which hereafter. . ." At this point appears the Mahatma’s marginal comment: "Exceptional cases my friend. . ."

			A further interesting item is a short letter in K.H.’s handwriting, addressed to Sinnett and received by him on August 22, 1882, about ten days after No. 71 was received. It is found in LBS on p. 365, Letter 201. The Mahatma says: "I have made a few alterations and caused a footnote to be appended to your 'Letters.' Anyhow, there is always danger, I see, of finding our ideas substituted by concrete and false images in the minds of your readers. If you succeed in giving them only relative, not absolute, truth, you will have conferred upon the public a great boon."
