Thanks. The little things prove very useful, and I gratefully acknowledge them. You ought to go to Simla. TRY. I confess to a weakness on my part to see you do so. We must patiently await the results, as I told you of the Book. The blanks are provoking and "tantalizing" but we cannot go against the inevitable. And as it is always good to mend an error I already did so by presenting the Occult World to the C----'s notice. Patience, patience. Yours, ever |

Context and background
This letter was in connection with the establishment of the Simla branch of the Theosophical Society. H. P. Blavatsky had been invited by the Humes to be there and the Mahatma seems concerned that A. P. Sinnett also should be present. On p. 156 of The Occult World, Sinnett comments that he went to Simla in August 1881 in connection with this undertaking.
Physical description of letter
The original is in the British Library, Folio 3. According to George Linton and Virginia Hanson, the letter was written:
On a single sheet of rippled white paper, in blue ink. The sheet is about 4" X 6" [10.2 X 15.2 cm] in size, folded note style. The capital "P" in "Patience" near the end of the letter is heavy, and the ink has blotted near the top of the sheet where the paper was folded.[1]
