| This is a portal into study of [[The Mahatma Letters to A. P. Sinnett (book)|''The Mahatma Letters to A. P. Sinnett'']] and the [[Letters from the Masters of the Wisdom (book)|''Letters from the Masters of the Wisdom'']]. This portal is an opportunity for students to view '''color images of the original letters''' in a three-column format with transcriptions and notes. Commentaries, background, publication history, and physical descriptions will be gradually added, derived from the work of many ML scholars, including [[Gottfried de Purucker]], [[Margaret Conger]], [[Mary K. Neff]], [[George Linton]], [[Virginia Hanson]], and [[Joy Mills]].

| '''The Mahatma Letters to A. P. Sinnett''' were first published by [[A. Trevor Barker]] in 1923. The book was followed by a second edition in 1926, a third edition by [[Christmas Humphreys]] and [[Elsie Benjamin]], and a chronological edition by [[Vicente Hao Chin, Jr.|Vic Hao Chin, Jr.]] Each letter has a name such as "Mahatma Letter No. 1", following the chronological numbering system, but can also be quickly located in Barker numbering, as described in [[Navigation and shortcuts in the Mahatma Letters Portal]].

|
| |
| '''Letters from the Masters of the Wisdom''' were first published in two volumes (series) in 1919 by [[Curuppumullage Jinarājadāsa]], including a commentary on letters sent to various individuals. The book went through several editions, the most recent being in 1988, which uses a different numbering scheme.

Blavatsky]]. Watch for announcements in the [[Theosophy Wiki:Community portal#Plans and announcements|Community Portal]].
