This is a portal into study of [[The Mahatma Letters to A. P. Sinnett (book)|''The Mahatma Letters to A. P. Sinnett'']], 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.]] 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]]. 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]].

The text of each letter is presented in a three-column format with '''color images of the original letters''', when available, and notes. Commentaries, background, publication history, and physical descriptions are also provided. Major sources include:
