			In 1888 [[Mabel Collins]] sent a letter to Mr. Harbottle expressing concern about [[Archibald Keightley]], as a means of casting doubt on [[Helena Petrovna Blavatsky]]. [[Koot Hoomi]] copied it and sent the copy with a message of his own to Madame Blavatsky to warn her of the situation. These letters are '''[[Mahatma Letter to H. P. Blavatsky - LMW 1 No. 58a\|Number 58a]]''' and '''[[Mahatma Letter to H. P. Blavatsky - LMW 1 No. 58b\|58b]]''' in [[Letters from the Masters of the Wisdom (book)\|''Letters from the Masters of the Wisdom, First Series'']]. In editions 1945-1974, before the First Series was resequenced in 1988, these were called '''Letter 45a''' and '''Letter 45b'''. <ref>C. Jinarajadasa, ''Letters from the Masters of the Wisdom, First Series'' (Adyar, Chennai, India: Theosophical Publishing House, 2011), 120-121, 171-172.</ref>

			Lansdowne Road was also the location of an encounter with the astral form of [[Morya\|Mahatma Morya]]:

			<blockquote>
			Mr. Harbottle and others one evening during Lodge session saw plainly the astral form of a Hindu sitting and calm ly
			watching the people. Indeed, so plain was the sight that only when some one sat down into this visitor, causing his disappearance, did Mr. Harbottle exclaim “He wasn't there at all,” very excitedly. The picture on the easel is that of an old Eastern friend of [[Helena Petrovna Blavatsky\|H.P.B.’s]] — of her [[Morya\|Master]], in fact, as she often said.<ref>William Quan Judge, "Habitations of H.P.B."
